Le Grand Chef

This movie is a must see for anyone interested in Korean food, and its also a thoroughly enjoyable story. The story is based on a manga series and follows the fortunes of two rival chefs battling it out in a cookery competition to win a rusty sushi knife (yeh go figure).

It's pretty easy to tell who is going come off better from the start (just look at the picture and work it out if you don't believe me!) but its enjoyable along the way, and full of intricate, and beautifully presented food. Your mouth will quite literally be watering afterwards. There are some fun sub plots and also some genuinely sad moments that are handled in the film with beautiful sensitivity.

You can see it on the mysoju.com website although of course if you have access to it by buying it you should do that (ahem).
