Plot
Amanda inherits her late mother's restaurant, but lacks her mother's ability to cook. The restaurant is failing when Amanda comes across an enchanted crab at the local market. The crab uses its magical powers to transform her into a superb chef. As a result, not only is Amanda able to save her restaurant, but she is also chosen to replace a temperamental chef who walks out on the opening night of a fabulous department store's new restaurant. Assisted by the crab, Amanda stuns the jaded restaurant critics and saves the career of Tom Bartlett (the department store manager, played by Sean Patrick Flanery), her newfound romantic interest.

Cast
Astaire references
The film contains interesting references to three
musical films of
Fred Astaire:
- Yolanda and the Thief (1946)
- The flooring which Flanery selects for his new restaurant is a copy of that used in the "Coffee Time" number.
- Flanery comments: "This looks like something out of an MGM musical".
- Shall We Dance (1937): Flanery's confusion when faced with multiple images of Gellar echoes Astaire when confronted with multiple masked versions of Ginger Rogers in the Shall We Dance finale.
