The story takes place in Cornwall, England. Penrose Hotel's owner Leo Vincent has a great passion and fame for Italian food. He is having an affair with his ex-wife Gina Benelli from whom he has stolen many Italian family recipes for years. At his son Michael's 18th birthday party, he and Gina are caught in the act by his second wife Sam. He wants to be forgiven but is denounced by both women. Out of desperation, he swallows an extra dosage of pills to calm his nerves, but dies of a heart attack. Since then, he has been transformed into a ghost, hovering around to watch and comment on his two wives managing the hotel, and his two children and his elderly mother leading a new life without him.

The story itself is reasonable, but the scenery, Italian decor, and cooking are fascinating. But what truly intoxicates everyone is the lust for life, Italian style. Just like her well-loved Vicar of Dibley, Gina is thoroughly adored by men in Delicious. The same rings true of Mimi, her wisecracks, and gutsy spirit to live fully to the last minute.
