Jang Hye-jin ([[Lee Yo-won]]) is an ordinary woman whose [[doenjang jjigae]] (soybean paste soup) is to die for but only very few have tried it. They claimed the scent alone was so heavenly it was as if all around didn't matter.
Before execution, a condemned man is given a last meal of his choosing. A television producer hears that a killer's last wish to eat his favorite Korean soup and tracks down the story behind this decision.

When a notorious murderer on death row requests Jang’s soup as his last meal, television producer Choi Yoo-jin ([[Ryu Seung-ryong]]) starts looking for Jang and the recipe. While looking, Chou Yoo-jin discovers how the police were only able to catch the killer due to him walking into a kitchen with the doenjang jjigae cooking. The killer was so captivated by the stew that he didn't even notice the police arriving to arrest him. The scent also froze the police until a chill breeze blew it away. They waited for the killer to finish before arresting him, but they wondered what it must have tasted like.

Jang is nowhere to be found and upon Choi's journey he learns she died while searching for her love, Kim Hyun-soo ([[Lee Dong-wook]]) but hopes to discover the recipe.

Twelve years after her last film, Rub Love, director Anna Lee mixes two different genres - the thriller and the love story. The English title, The Recipe, contains a lot of meaning: a record of a person’s life, a memory of taste, an experience of loss and a chronicle of hurts. In this sense, the film is a recipe for everything. Lee illustrates the obsession with memories of love and a fatalistic point of view. The soybean soup recipe contains pain, longing and salvation. In a sense, the recipe is the very history of Korea’s memory and tradition.[2]
