What's Cooking?

This moving, and charming film captures four families during a memorable Thanksgiving in Los Angeles. The traditional dinner is laid in some non-traditional ways in various neighborhoods: African-American, Vietnamese, Jewish and Latino. The lives of characters from these disparate backgrounds converge over the course of this special holiday. Examining lives not normally depicted in mainstream American films, What’s Cooking? is served up by a veteran cast, ably directed with sensitivity and balance by Gurinder Chadha.
