However, when Von Klops steals Mami’s cookbook containing all her culinary secrets and after the Doctor’s suspicious concoctions bring a gluttonous giant, Beatle, into existence, the heroic chef is the only one who can rescue the city and her friends. Mami, along with her inseparable pets, set out on an exciting adventure in order to save the world, get the precious cookbook back, and regain self-confidence.
