The film stars Christina Hendricks, Joaquim de Almeida, Leisha Hailey, and Rachel Hunter.

Allison Hebble, Zed Starkovich and Starlotte Dawn Smith were all neighbors in West Hollywood.

La Cucina is a brief slice of life that is set in present day Los Angeles, on a hot summer evening in a West Hollywood apartment building.

A young writer, Lily (Hendricks), goes on an emotional roller coaster with the much older (17 years) and sophisticated Michael (Almeida).

In the kitchen above, the very pregnant Shelly (Hailey) is terrified that becoming a mother will drive away her husband and has turned for advice to her lesbian friend Jude (Hunter), sure that this magnificent cook who has been in a long-term relationship has it all figured out.
