Genre: Telenovela, Afrikaans
Two young individuals with contrasting backgrounds cross paths.
The chef of a humble kebab restaurant, Firat, meets the owner of a French restaurant, Naz Soyluer.
The ultimate clash of cultures between a Westernised woman who is devoted to French cuisine, and an Anatolian man with a tendency for Oriental cuisine gives birth to a sweet rivalry.
Thus is painted a loving picture of their chemistry which seems contradictory but has the same essence - like French Chateaubriand and Turkish Kebab.
Ending up at the same restaurant, Firat attempts to create more of a fusion cuisine whereas Naz runs by the book, along the lines of French tradition.
They discover a Recipe for Love, the English title for this show, originally titled Askin Tarifi in Turkish.
Recipe for Love is the cleansing of all biases and submitting yourself to love.
In the quest of finding it, both are put to a test by battling their stubbornness.
Will they manage to discover the recipe, or does such a thing even exist?
