La Cucina combines the sensuous pleasures of love and food, simmering in the heat of a Sicilian kitchen. Rosa Fiore is a solitary woman who has resigned herself to a loveless life and expresses her passionate nature through her delicious cooking. Then, one day, she meets an enigmatic chef, known as l´Inglese, whose research on the heritage of Sicilian cuisine leads him into Rosa´s library and into her heart. They share one sublime summer of discovery, during which l`Inglese awakens the power of Rosa´s sexuality, and together they reach new heights of culinary passion. When he vanishes unexpectedly, Rosa returns to her family´s estate to grieve for her lost love only to find new fulfilment, as well as many surprises, in the magic of her beloved cucina.
