The premise

Mystery abounds when it is discovered that, one by one, the greatest chefs in Europe are being killed. The intriguing part of the murders is that each chef is killed in the same manner that their own special dish is prepared in. Food critics and the (many) self-proclaimed greatest chefs in Europe demand the mystery be solved.

Horror Vault's take

Europe's most celebrated chefs are being murdered one by one — and each killing is staged with a sinister culinary twist, mirroring the victim's own signature dish. Amid a world of inflated egos, jealous rivals, and devoted food critics, the question of who's behind the gourmet slayings proves as layered as a fine pâté. This late-1970s dark comedy-mystery serves up wicked humour alongside genuine intrigue, drawing on a stellar European ensemble cast. If Agatha Christie had a wicked sense of taste, she might have cooked up something like this.
