Sauté

2023–2024 · 1 season

A sharp, bittersweet comedy of a prickly chef forced into TV chaos and an awkward family reunion, funny but with a sour edge.

Tagline: Everything is eaten, little is digested
Overview: The life of an obsessive anti-social chef Sotiria "Sote" Vokakis gets mixed up like a salad when she is forced to return to Greece to take the role of the judge in a provocative cooking reality show. The recipe is explosive: Sote's relationship with television is reminiscent of an allergic reaction, while the producer of the show is her daughter, with whom she hasn't spoken for over ten years. And the dessert? She has to star in a cooking show, and in the last few weeks she has completely lost... her taste!
How it feels: Satirical, cynical, warm and absurd. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Family, identity, work, media
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
