The focus is on the story of young chef Irini, who is learning the fine art of Michelin-starred cuisine at the renowned Cooking Academy. But it's not just fierce competition that awaits Irini there, but also unexpected emotional turmoil between Chris, the rebellious bad boy with a dark secret, and Rafael, the shy kitchen genius. Meanwhile, headmistress Felicitas Eichen struggles to keep the Cooking Academy running successfully despite financial difficulties – and at the same time to save her troubled marriage to Michelin-starred chef Alexander Eichen.
