To her friends, high school senior Liza Yang is nearly perfect. But to her mom, Liza is stubborn, rebellious, and worst of all, determined to push back against all of Mrs. Yang's traditional values. The one thing mother and daughter do agree on is their love of baking. Liza agrees to help out at the bakery's annual junior competition to prove to her mom that she's more than her rebellious tendencies. But when Liza arrives on the first day of the bake-off, she realizes that all of the contestants are young Asian American men her mother has handpicked for Liza to date. The bachelorette situation Liza has found herself in is made even worse when she happens to be grudgingly attracted to one of the contestants. As she battles against her feelings for James, and for her mother's approval, Liza begins to realize there's no tried and true recipe for love.
