THE TIME OF CHERRIES is a wonderful love story set between French cuisine and the world of books and literature.

André Chabanais, the editor of Éditions Opale (who secretly has written a bestseller under the name Robert Miller) and Aurelie Berlin, the beautiful cook with her special "Menu d’amour" who still works in her cosy restaurant in Saint-Germain ended up with a kiss in THE INGREDIENTS OF LOVE.

It has been a year since Aurélie, the pretty chef at Le Temps des　Cerises, and André, the editor who pens successful novels under　the pseudonym Robert Miller, started dating. Then Valentine’s　Day comes – and what date could be better for proposing to the　woman of one’s dreams? But on this memorable evening, on　which André presents his new novel in the book shop run by the　seductive Artémise Belfond and reveals his actual identity for the first time, something unexpected happens. Aurélie’s small restaurant receives a Michelin star – and the young chef can hardly contain her joy. For an entire three days. Which is when she learns that the award was the result of a mistake. An arrogant award-winning chef from Vétheuil runs a restaurant with the same name, and he calls her on the phone, scoffing at her naivete. However, when she personally meets Jean-Marie Marronnier a short time later, Aurélie finds herself intrigued by this attractive and cultivated blue-eyed man, who not only cooks like a god but also has an actual Monet hanging in his restaurant. Aurélie decides to take a cooking class from the renowned chef, and André, spoiled by both success and women, experiences jealousy for the first time in his life …
