What Is A Pinch Of Portugal About?
What do we know about Hallmark’s latest movie A Pinch In Portugal? According to the synopsis, Anna (Hemmens) was always content being a prep cook for television chef Dean (Day). This is a background position in a career that centers around the international celebrity chef. But, one day, the culinary great shocked everyone in production by walking out on the set in Portugal.
Now, Anna needs to be the face on television to replace Dean. Can she step up and shine? She starts by tailoring the show to match her cooking style. That means she heads to local cheese producers, farmer’s markets, and to the fishing harbor for the freshest ingredients to showcase Portuguese recipes.
Surprisingly, Anna starts to bloom on set. Is it because she has created the show to match her strengths? Or is it because of Russ (Mitchell), her Aussie cameraman, and Lucas (Gomes), her Portuguese location scout? Both men are charming and seem to bring out the best in her. But one seems to have stepped up in her heart.
But, things get chaotic once again when Dean unexpectedly returns. What does Anna do now?
The newly self-confident Anna now realizes that she is not meant to be a co-star. She wants to star in her own life. That also means becoming more ambitious and not relegating herself behind the camera. She is a chef ready for the spotlight.
