Expectation<\/i>\u00c2\u00a0meets\u00c2\u00a0Julie and Julia, The Yellow Kitchen\u00c2\u00a0<\/i>is a brilliant exploration of food, belonging and friendship.<\/b><\/p>\n
London E17, 2019. A yellow kitchen stands as a metaphor for the lifelong friendship between three women: Claude, the baker, goal-orientated Sophie and political Giulia. They have the best kind of friendship, chasing life and careers; dating, dreaming and consuming but always returning to be reunited in the yellow kitchen.<\/p>\n
That is, until a trip to Lisbon unravels unexplored desires between Claude and Sophie. Having sex is one thing, waking up the day after is the beginning of something new.<\/p>\n
Exploring the complexities of female friendship,\u00c2\u00a0The Yellow Kitchen<\/i>\u00c2\u00a0is a hymn to the last year of London as we knew it and a celebration of the culture, the food and the rhythms we live by.<\/b><\/p>\n
