The Young And The Restless  – Hunter King Stars In Two Scoops Of Italy

The new film premiered on the Hallmark Channel on Saturday, June 22. The movie is about an American chef who travels to a small village in Italy.

Not only does she fall in love with the food and culture, but she also falls for a tall, dark, and handsome man who helps her explore the place.

The two explore traditional flavors. The rom-com was filled in Italy. Hunter King spoke to Soaps.com about her cooking skills. She said that she’s “new to cooking.” So, she’s “probably a three” on a scale of 1 – 10. King and her co-star Michele Rosiello had to learn how to make gelato. She didn’t have to cook on the set of the film though.

“All I had to worry about doing was placing little garnishes on different dishes,” she said. “Oh, okay, I can do this!”

Hunter King sought unlikely inspiration for the film. She watched Guy’s Grocery Games. She admits that she’s a big fan of Guy Fieri. King would compete on the show if she could up-level her cooking skills.
