Answer 1

No Reservations is a 2007 romantic comedy directed by Scott Hicks, from a screenplay by Carol Fuchs based on an original script by Sandra Nettelbeck. A remake of the German film Mostly Martha (Ger. title Bella Martha, directed by Nettelbeck), the American version stars Catherine Zeta-Jones and Aaron Eckhart as a pair of chefs, and Abigail Breslin.
No Reservations is scheduled for release in North America by Warner Brothers on July 27, 2007.

Master chef Kate Armstrong (Catherine Zeta-Jones) lives her life like she runs her kitchen at a trendy Manhattan eatery—with a no-nonsense intensity that both captivates and intimidates everyone around her. Kate's perfectionist nature is put to the test when she "inherits" her nine-year-old niece Zoe (Abigail Breslin), while contending with a brash new sous-chef who joins her staff. High-spirited and freewheeling, Nick Palmer (Aaron Eckhart) couldn't be more different from Kate, yet the chemistry between them is undeniable. Rivalry becomes romance, but Kate will have to learn to express herself beyond the realm of her kitchen if she wants to connect with Zoe and find true happiness with Nick.

Answer 2

I read a little bit about this from an ad and review in the most recent issue of "Redbook" that recommended it as a "must see" movie. From the review it sounded sort of like a "Raising Helen" where the principals are chefs and only one child instead of three.

It is a combination romantic comedy/tear jerker starring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Aaron Eckhart. Both Zeta-Jones and Eckhart portray accomplished, single chefs and Zeta-Jones suddenly finds herself the guardian of her dead sister's young daughter (portrayed by Abigal Breslin).
