GOBBLE & GYOZA

(A chef, a teacher, and one stormy Thanksgiving where rivalry simmers, love rises, and chaos becomes the secret ingredient)

Two kitchens. Two cultures. One Thanksgiving where love, and tempura, might just save the day.

When a glitchy travel app sends rising Japanese-American chef Miki Tanaka to the wrong Plymouth, her dreams of catering a high-profile Boston Thanksgiving implode in a swirl of snow, soy sauce, and misplaced ambition. Stranded in a pilgrim-obsessed small town that still hosts reenactments, Miki finds herself roped into co-catering Plymouth’s annual “Pilgrim Palooza” with her old culinary school rival, Tom Harper, a single dad and history teacher who worships canned cranberry sauce and defends tradition like it’s a national sport.

Their clash is instant, and delicious. Miki’s bold miso-glazed turkey and wasabi yams horrify Tom’s family’s “proper” recipes, while her mother insists on karaoke, sake, and origami decor. Soon the gym-turned-feast hall becomes ground zero for a culture war wrapped in pastry crust, as Japanese flair meets New England nostalgia. But when a freak nor’easter floods the event, Miki and Tom must put pride aside and fuse their worlds, culinary and emotional, to save the feast and discover something they’ve both been missing.

As flour flies, families feud, and laughter bridges generations, Miki learns that love, like great cooking, is an act of balance, between heritage and heart, chaos and comfort, risk and home.

Gobble & Gyoza is a warm, witty, and wildly romantic holiday romp about two people who cook up a new tradition from the mess of old ones, and discover that the best recipes begin with imperfection.
