COOKING WITH STELLA

Cooking with Stella is a warmhearted social satire about a Canadian diplomat and her chef husband Michael who are posted to New Delhi. Upon arrival, the couple inherits a household of Indian servants headed by the charming, totally inspiring – and wily – cook, Stella. When Stella agrees to become Michael’s cooking guru, to teach him authentic Indian dishes, little does he know that she’s cooking up a scheme of her own.
