I was making pizzas for lunch and while kneading the dough in my hands
I suddenly found myself thinking about all the wonderful films I've seen that
I suddenly found myself thinking about all the wonderful films I've seen that
are all about food. Lovely food!
Ratatouille (2007) is probably my absolute favourite. Maybe it's just the Paris
setting. I don't know how often I've watched it with my children and I enjoy it
every time. I'm almost certain there is a rat working as a head chef somewhere
every time. I'm almost certain there is a rat working as a head chef somewhere

One of the most precious birthday presents I've got was from my German
friend Dietmar. I had told him in a letter that I was reading Karen Blixen's story,
Babettes gæstebud, (we talk about books all the time) and a few weeks later
the DVD arrived in the mail. Its English title is Babette's Feast (1987) and it's
a gem (the story, too).

The scene with Comte de Reynaud [Alfred Molina] in the chocolate shop's
window in Chocolate (2000). Priceless!

Like Water for Chocolate (1992). I have to admit that it's been such a long
time since I saw the film that I hardly remember any particular scenes, but
Laura Esquivel's novel has never left my mind.

I love food and I love movies, so this is right up my alley :)
ReplyDeleteHave seen Chocolate (ofcourse!) and No Reservations but none of the others. Should get around to seeing Ratatouille at least, that one looks cute!
Cooking is one of my favourite things to do. Ratatouille is soo cute, I love that one :) It's pretty crazy when a cartoon rat can inspire you so much!
ReplyDeleteRemy is no ordinary rat! ;-)
