Quando lascia la Cornovaglia per trasferirsi nel nord dell'Inghilterra, Ute Schaffeln ha ben pochi mezzi: una valigia e due bauli pieni di libri, disegni e attrezzi da cucina. Possiede, però, un dono speciale, quello di riuscire a lenire le sofferenze della vita grazie alle sue deliziose ricette. Decide allora di servirsi di questo dono e di trasformare un vecchio cottage, lasciatole in eredità dalla nonna materna, in una piccola pensione immersa nel verde. Qui conoscerà Aidan, un ospite giunto da Londra in preda a una profonda crisi d'identità e capitato in quei luoghi per caso. Mentre tentano di tirare i fili della loro nuova esistenza, il passato di entrambi è pronto a tornare, perché ciò che nelle loro vite è ancora incompiuto non può restare in sospeso. Tra profumi avvolgenti e ricette gourmet, Ute e Aidan saranno così testimoni dell'ineluttabilità del fato e di quella potente forza che si chiama Amore.
