Dangerously! is right, Julie not know what she wants. She knows she is not happy and she needs a change. Could cooking be it? She forms an amazing relationship with a woman that she has never really met. But at what cost? wonderfully written, much better than the movie. You feel like you are in the kitchen with them.
