All I've ever wanted is...
sparkling silverware,
beautiful crystal,..
and someone to love.
Because to love and be loved..
is the greatest gift.
Cooking is supposed to..
make you feel something.
And if it makes you feel loved,..
then that's the most important thing.
Amy, you're on in three,.. two...
There is no love as true
as the love of food.
You with me?
I like to say.. forget love,
I'd rather fall in chocolate.
Mmmm.
But, the secret to a man's heart
is not through his stomach,..
it's through his zipper.
Now, one of you
lucky audience members
is gonna join me for a meal
that will inspire you to orgasm.
Because that's what we do
on Amy's Food For Love.
(knocking)
Sh*t.
No solicitors, please.
I'm Detective Reynolds.
I'd like to ask you some questions.
It's about your neighbour.
I'd just like to ask a couple questions.
It looks like you might
be entertaining.
It's just a chocolate souffl.
It'll be ready in ten minutes.
Oh, I don't do much dessert,
doctor's orders.
I won't tell if you won't.
Mmm...
Glass of Bordeaux?
Can't drink on the job,
but thank you.
Hmm.
So, uh, your neighbour
across the way in 302.
She's, uh, come up missing.
Saffron?
She's a friend of yours?
Well, I wouldn't say
that we share secrets,
but we look out for each other.
She didn't say anything to you
to lead you to believe
she was distressed,
maybe a fight with a lover?
She seemed fine
the last time I saw her.
Uh-huh.
And when was that?
Umm...
we had dinner..
last week.
Did she have
any friends over or parties?
No, actually,
Saffron's pretty solitary.
Oh, a pretty girl like that.
And famous, I understand.
Though I don't go
to the movies much myself.
Well, like I said, I don't know much
about her private life.
This is Saffron Nelson?
Maybe. It's hard to see.
She's an actress,
so every time you see her, she's a...
different person.
So you've had no contact with her
since your dinner together?
You don't seem too concerned.
Well, how do we know
that she's missing?
Look, Miss Elwood,
maybe I should be the detective here.
I think it'll all make sense
in the grand scheme of things.
- Aah, do you mind?
- Oh.
So, last week, did you cook
for her here or did you order in?
Order in?
God, never.
Um, hmm, let's see.
Oh..
Shafer Farm's venison loin
with parsnip gratin
and onion confit.
Do you keep track of
everything you cook?
Do you keep track
of everything you ask?
I do everything I make
on a special occasion.
Are you a chef?
I'm preparing
my own cooking show.
Will you be writing up
your little cakes?
Souffl.
And I don't know
if they're special enough yet.
Would you know of any other
friends of Miss Nelson
Honestly, detective,
I don't know if she has any.
If you think of anything,
please feel free to contact me...
personally.
Sure thing.
God, I.. I can't believe
anything's happened to her.
In the throes of passion,
who gives the most?
The man or the woman?
Not the man, that's for sure.
That's a great article,
one of her best.
Looks like she had many talents.
She was tired of acting.
That's why she wrote
the advice columns.
She was tired of being
dependent on others.
She said that to you?
In so many words.
Suicide.
Is that possible?
And how is it that a woman
who looks like that had no lovers?
She gets a lot of phone calls
but she never answers.
She changes her number
all the time.
(phone ringing)
Used to bother my fianc 'cause
you could hear it through the walls.
(phone ringing)
(beep)
Saffron, honey, it's Christine.
I just spoke with
their casting director.
It's not looking good.
They need more
name value, A list,
you know the bullshit.
Call me.
Okay, okay.
(muffled chatter)
It's a beast.
Might have to eighty-six
the damn door frame.
Everything looks wonderful.
The treated concrete,
the stainless,
my kitchen lights,
remote control.
Well, you don't want
to strain yourself.
You went all out for me, babe.
But this is all wrong.
Isn't it standard?
It's not forty.
It should be forty.
Amy, darling,
thirty-six is standard.
They gave you standard height.
I like to be elevated when cooking,
if you know what I mean.
Heels add four inches,
so the island has to come up by four.
Spare no detail,
spare no expense.
Do you remember, Fred?
The kitchen is my temple.
Yeah, cash-guzzling temple.
Here ya go, guy.
Come on.
I gotta go..
You know why I love you, babe?
'Cause when we went to
our first dinner at Le Gourmand,
with a woman who can't cook.
And what did I say?
You said that you could
never be with someone
who didn't appreciate
a meal 'made with love'.
I'm so glad you're understanding.
So you'll get him to finish it
in three days, right'?
I got him this far, didn't I?
Dinner's at eight.
Sorry about all the noise.
Let me guess. Model?
More of a Diva, I'd say.
(phone ringing)
I need you at eight sharp,
no delays.
The integrity of the meal
can't tolerate it.
Because today
on the menu, we have...
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Surprise me, babe.
You know I know
how to do that.
Right. Can't wait.
Bye.
Mmm.
You know, sometimes
I have to dig real deep
to find the spiritual
connection to
poached Dover Sole
over baby fennel.
Come on, you love all her
fancy chateau de chez moi meals.
No, her mind rules your belly.
for takeout at the Red Lantern.
You know what they say
about fast food,
it's like pornography.
Not much of a substitute
for the real thing,
but ready and available
when you need it.
Hello.
(sigh)
Ames, this is a big account.
It's a big fat account.
Big enough to pay for
all these renovations account.
Do you know how hard it is
without the proper
convection oven?
Honey, they fixed
my countertop, but...
Hey, buddy.
..the lighting.. is all wrong.
Looks great to me.
Well, not when you're
standing behind the island.
It needs to be more... glamorous.
Call the electrician.
No one listens to me.
Did you miss me?
I missed you.
That's my boy.
How were the truffles?
They were parigord.
The best.
Did they overpower
the partridge?
Definitely not.
Was the partridge young enough,
tender enough?
Just like you, babe.
Well, maybe not quite that tender.
Are you sure I haven't
gotten too tough,
too meaty?
Well, it didn't seem that way to me,
last time I had a taste.
It's been a few days.
Maybe you should make sure.
Time to play find the hidden spice.
(chuckling)
Are you focusing?
Mm-hm.
Sweet aroma.
Solid structure.
Come on, baby.
Let's go to the couch.
No, no, let's stay here.
You can smell the wild truffles.
Wild truffles, huh?
(moaning)
You like that?
(heavy breathing)
(moaning)
Ohh...
Oh! Oh, you found it!
(moaning)
That's the missing spice.
(crash)
Oh, Fred!
(gasps)
Oh, God.
Hey. What are you doing?
