Journalist Elizabeth Lane is one of the country's most famous food writer. In her columns, she describes herself as a hard working farm woman, taking care of her children and being an excellent cook. But this is all lies. In reality she is an unmarried New Yorker who can't even boil an egg. The recipes come from her good friend Felix. The owner of the magazine she works for has decided that a heroic sailor will spend his Christmas on *her* farm. Miss Lane knows that her career is over if the truth comes out, but what can she do?

Barbara Stanwyck plays a magazine writer who writes about cooking when in reality she can't cook. One Christmas, the owner of her magazine wants her to treat a war hero to an old-fashioned Christmas in the country home she lives with her husband. She doesn't have a husband. She convinces her boyfriend to lend her his country home on the promise she will marry him. She also convinces a chef friend to help her with the cooking. The war hero arrives and the two fall in love.

Barbra Stanwyck plays a modern day Martha Stewart but only on paper. She's smart, effortlessly funny and absolutely engaging to watch. Dennis Morgan, a sailor looking for some Christmas cheer, is a perfect foil. Once their paths cross, the story glides along joyoysly with the help of a stellar supporting cast.

Love that it's in the country, the snow, and a lovely romantic story. Right up there with White Christmas !
