Za okny zuří druhá světová válka. Nacisté postupují, blesková válka zničila města a ponorky přerušily dodávky potravin. Ženy ve Velké Británii musí být v kuchyni kreativní. Ve snaze jim pomoci vyhlašuje rozhlasový pořad Na kuchyňské frontě kuchařskou soutěž o místo první ženské spolumoderátorky pořadu. Pro čtyři velmi rozdílné ženy by to znamenalo životní šanci. Mladá vdova by dokázala splatit manželovy dluhy. Kuchyňská služebná by mohla opustit službu a postavit se na vlastní nohy. Zámecká paní by byla schopná uniknout despotickému manželovi. A pro vyučenou šéfkuchařku je to zkrátka výzva. Pomůže soutěž komunitu stmelit, nebo ji naopak rozdělí?
