Watchseries; There's no reason to get long-winded about it. It was worth every minute spent watching. I wish the 12 episodes were 30. The only thing you can call disappointing is a rather rushed ending to a truly compelling watch.

The Cook of Castamar watchseries. Beautiful locations and good performances. Spoilt by second rate script. Motives unexplained, dramatic moments undeveloped, irrelevant scenes interjected. What a pity.
I will be honest: I love anything Spanish, and even if they are not well known for films and TV Series (apart from the breakout hit, Money Heist) I think they have been doing quite well with their historical series. A fairly good example was Morocco: Love in Times of War, set in North Africa and the more recent, Grand Hotel which was a thriller set in Edwardian times. In fact the setting for this series looks very similar to Grand Hotel.
The story follows a young cook who finds employment at the luxurious Castamar estate and eventually becomes involved with its owner. The story is quite involved, and I think it is often a bit confusing, but the sets, costumes and camerawork are spot on. The voices are dubbed like so many Spanish series, but to be honest, this is quite well done, as in Money Heist. The ending is fairly predictable, but it always kept my attention even if it wasn't the most memorable Spanish production. But there is more in the pipeline, including a series of El Cid, starring one of the young stars of Money Heist, so there is more to look forward to.
A lovely spanish series that ticked all of the boxes. The characters were well cast and well acted, the leads had good chemistry. The storylines were well developed and just the right amount of too much. Costuming was very well done throughout.
I love this love story . Please continue to make more shows like this one . This show has everything it's amazing I love it!!
I found this series by accident and I've quite enjoyed watching Clara and Diego fall in love over food. I love the scenery, the costumes, the supporting cast, and the plots that keep me wanting more. This is a delightful show. So many twists and turns.
Why can't we have more engrossing television like this?
