COOKING4LUV

COOKING4LUV
By Tony Bracy

GENRE: Romance, Comedy
LOGLINE:

Cooking4Luv follows superstar chef Parker Taylor, whose carefully ordered life is thrown into chaos when she falls for a mysterious man she met online—only to discover he is actually Alonzo Preston, her ex-boyfriend and boss, forcing them to confront old wounds, unresolved feelings, and a meddling rival while navigating love, ambition, and the high-pressure world of fine dining.

SYNOPSIS:

Set in a New Orleans restaurant, Cooking4Luv is a soulful, character-driven romantic comedy that

explores what happens when unresolved love simmers beneath the surface.

Parker Taylor is a gifted soul food chef known for her bold flavors and even bolder personality.

Wounded by betrayal, she hides her vulnerability behind sharp wit, a cast-iron skillet, and the promise of

never falling for the same man twice.

That man is Alonzo Preston — a charismatic, ambitious restaurateur who once held her heart and broke

it in ways neither of them fully understands. Now forced to co-exist as reluctant business partners in a

high-end fusion restaurant, their real-world relationship simmers with tension, jealousy, and a stubborn

refusal to admit there's still something there.

Meanwhile, both turn to a no-photo dating app, SimpleMatch.com, where users connect through values,

stories, and personal passions. Under the name “Cooking4Luv,” Parker bonds with “UptownsFinest,” a

poetic and soulful match whose words melt her defenses. What neither of them knows is that they’re

falling for each other — again — in disguise.

As the anonymous romance deepens online, the real-life relationship reaches a breaking point. Just after

Marie announces her and Alonzo’s pending nuptials, Parker discovers UptownsFinest true identity — an

explosive kitchen confrontation results in disaster. In a symbolic twist of fate, she accidentally sets fire

to Alonzo’s prized kitchen, leaving their restaurant, partnership, and budding digital connection in ruins.

With everything on the line — love, legacy, and the restaurant they both bled for — Parker and Alonzo

must confront their past, reveal the truth, and choose whether they’ll keep running … or choose a 2nd

helping of their first love.
