Critic Reviews:
- " It's such a treat to see such an endearing slice o' life in the
middle of this blockbuster season. There's not a single comic book character in
sight. " – Liz Braun
- " The result is a small, unashamedly feel-good film that makes up for
what it lacks in dramatic jeopardy with gentle comedy, heartwarming family
scenes, ladles of food porn, and time spent among characters you like.
" – Laurence Phelan
- " Chef slips a few tasty side dishes around its meat-and-potatoes main
course. " – Mark Kermode
