《炖锅》以1885年的法国美食界为背景，讲述了受人尊敬的厨师尤金妮(Eugenie)和她为之工作了20年的美食家多丁(Dodin)之间的关系。他们越来越喜欢彼此，他们的关系变成了一种浪漫，并产生了美味的菜肴，甚至让世界上最杰出的厨师都印象深刻。当多丁面对尤金妮不愿对他承诺时，他决定开始为她做饭。 米其林14星厨师皮埃尔·加涅尔(Pierre Gagnaire)在影片中担任烹饪顾问，并在影片中扮演了一个小角色。这个故事的灵感来自法国著名的美食家让·安塞尔姆·布里亚-萨瓦兰。

Set in the world of French gastronomy in 1885, “Pot Au Feu” charts the relationship between Eugenie, an esteemed cook, and Dodin, the fine gourmet she has been working for over the last 20 years. Growing fonder of one another, their bond turns into a romance and gives rise to delicious dishes that impress even the world’s most illustrious chefs. When Dodin is faced with Eugenie’s reluctance to commit to him, he decides to start cooking for her.

Pierre Gagnaire, the 14 Michelin starred-chef, is serving as culinary counselor on the film and also has a small part in it. The story is inspired by the famous French gastronome Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin.
