    Review: 'The Last Recipe' is a magical depiction of food and cooking

    One can take elegant, beautiful shots of food — but push it too far, and it drifts into the realm of food porn. Fortunately, “The Last Recipe” never descends into such territory. Based on the Japanese novel of the same title, this culinary drama follows the adventures of modern-day talented extremist chef Mitsuru Sasaki (Kazunari Ninomiya) as he traces the life of legendary Imperial chef Naotaro Yamagata (Hidetoshi Nishijima) in the 1930s, in a search for the eponymous recipe.
