The director of Bend It Like Beckham invites you to a sumptuous Thanksgiving dinner that will all at once transport you to four different worlds and take you home again. On the menu are turkey, sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie - but also spring rolls, macaroni and cheese, love, betrayal, sibling rivalry, prejudice, politics, uninvited guests, unexpected accidents, outrageous conversations - and hidden secrets that are revealed when modern families come together, and fall apart, for an annual meal.

What's Cooking? follows four seemingly disparate families as they confront differences and familiarity; laughter and festering anger; shiitake mushrooms and mashed potatoes; near-disaster and, ultimately, the astonishing power of love to connect them all.
