This lighthearted, satirical, social comedy starring the versatile Seema Biswas, Lisa Ray, Don McKellar, and Shriya Saran, is about an unsuspecting couple who inherit a household of Indian servants when they are posted to New Delhi by the Canadian Diplomatic Service. The captain of this ship, Stella (Biswas) - the head cook, is a wily and charming lady and an inspired cook, who is not only creative with her recipes, but also at padding her salary. The roller-coaster ride that is this delightful little film has viewers watering at the mouth for Stella's yummy food and Biswas' (and the other artists') stellar performances.
Cooking With Stella has been the talk of the town in the festivals it has been to so far. In Los Angeles, the cast was literally mobbed by strangers after the screening with fans wanting to personally praise the director and actors. In Toronto, the crowd went wild seeing the team of the movie arriving in authentic rickshaws. We wonder what surprises the film and the cast and crew will have for viewers at the New York Premiere at MIAAC. Whatever it is, Cooking With Stella is sure to wow audiences yet again
