A butcher, a baker, a jilted homemaker...

After forty years of marriage, Mebel Tanadi's husband has just announced he's leaving her for their private chef. But Mebel has the perfect plan to win him back: she'll finally learn to cook.

Despite the frosty welcome from the much younger classmates in her culinary school - and her total lack of skills - Mebel manages to befriend the breakout star of the program, Gemma. Through their unlikely friendship, and the dicing of many, many potatoes, Mebel realises that, maybe, there's more to life than being the perfect trophy wife...
