With help from her new friends and her late father's magical spices, Talia revives business in her family restaurant by cooking truly life-changing meals that are just what each customer needs.
An optimistic girl who loves everything and is fond in cooking, ready to help Lola's. She doesn't like the Fuccinellis due to their rivalry after them closing Lola's. Debbie Fuccinelli, Talia's greatest rival, works at Fuccinelli's. The two are constantly competing to see who is the better one of the two. Talia dislikes Debbie because of her self-absorbed personality, and also being somewhat jealous of her. Not only is Debbie more attractive, popular, and intelligent than Talia, but is also a more exceptional chef as well. Talia has made it her goal to try and surpass Debbie, and dislikes anyone affiliated with her. However, she did have a crush on Tyson, Debbie's twin brother. Her two best friends are Rudy & Valerie. Her little sister is Julia, a child prodigy who helps to get Lola's back into shape. Talia finds magic spices her father has been hiding from her after a long time, and she later discovers she is a SpiceMaster, someone special who can use these spices with the effects.
The main antagonist of the series. Debbie Fuccinelli astonishingly pretty, popular, and smart and is an extremely talented and amazing chef with unrivaled skills in the kitchen and cooks at the Fuccinelli's Restaurant. She dreams of ruling the restaurant world with an iron fist, and will ruin the life of anyone who dares oppose her. Which is why she has chosen Lola's, the Fuccinelli's rival restaurant, as her target. Debbie is seen constantly competing with Talia Parra, a chef at Lola's and her greatest rival, to see who the better one between the two. Debbie despises Talia because of her ignorance. She finds it irritating to meet someone who has the "nerve" to try compete against her. So, Debbie has taken it upon herself to teach Talia, and anyone who helps her, a lesson in what means to mess with Debbie Fuccinelli. Debbie acts like no one can beat her, but she is secretly tends has little confidence in her skills, believing that her vest isn't good enough. This was shown during the second half of the series, when she inadvertently accepts a win against Talia in a cooking contest when her cousin and teacher, Frenchie, cheated. Debbie loses her self-confidence because her win wasn't fair. She eventually learns to not have so much doubt and regains her confidence in the kitchen.

She obviously care a lot about her family and their business, and willing to do anything to protect the Fuccinelli name.
