I love movies. Who doesn't? I still get butterflies every time the lights darken in the theater....Or maybe that's just the butter from the popcorn clogging my arteries. Anyway, the amazing thing about movies is that everything always looks better in them...people, landscapes, beds (Has anyone else ever noticed that? Beds always look so nice), and of course food. Here are some dishes that you can recreate to impress all of your cinematic pals.
1. Ratatouille's
RatatouilleIf you couldn't tell from my picture, I love this movie. It combines all my favorite things: cooking, France, cute little rats, and obviously I have a secret crush on Linguine. My mom, being the kind soul she is (and also the inspiration for this post!), first cooked this for me before I left for France and once again when I returned. It is now one of our favorite meals, and is a definite crowd-pleaser. Bon appetit!
2. Twilight's
Mushroom RavioliYes, we all chuckled at the irony that Bella is a vegetarian and Edward is a "vegetarian." We all marveled at their everlasting, undying love for each other, and we all were impressed by the fact that cheesy dialogue in literature translates to downright campy on screen. And now we all can make the mushroom ravioli that Bella orders on their first date. Ah, true love...
3. Julie and Julia's
Sole MeuniereIf you haven't seen this film yet, then you must not really like food. From the bruschetta in the tiny little Queens apartment to the all-important sole meuniere in a French brasserie, food plays a starring role (well, it has to compete with Meryl Streep, so it better be good). Check out this
article from the New York Times about food styling in movies...it's fascinating!
There are so many more...What are your favorite movie dishes?

Human liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.
When I was younger, all I wanted was a Chocolate Factory like Willy Wonka. Haha!XD
Then there is the Lady and the Tramp love scene. Helloooo?! Can you Italian heaven?!
All in all, Ratatouille's food scenes will always be my favorite!<3
wow...they all sound good.
Bella was a vegetarian? Seriously?
@dianchik_icons@xanga - She also has a veggie burger in one of the scenes, I think. They never come flat out and say it, but I also think I remember someone mentioning it in an interview.
@arenadi@xanga - I'm with you on this one. :D
@arenadi@xanga - -slurp slurp-
@AmistadBaby@xanga - Oh! I never knew that! Thanks for the info!
#1 n #3 r nice! =]
can't think of any right now..
Ahhh when she ordered that mushroom ravioli i thought YUM
It isn't a movie, but there's this old episode of Little Rascals (called "Teacher's Pet") where Jackie is sulking and Miss Crabtree brings him a huge plate of cake and ice cream. It always looked soooo good.
ramen girl.. too bad she's dead.
ratatouille and mushroom ravioli is so delicious!
I always like the foods on cartoon shows...they always look so yummy for some reason.
@dianchik_icons@xanga - i had the same reaction! she is not a vegetarian because *spoiler* the part in the last book where she bites into fried chicken and spits it out tells you she's preggo with the spawn
@hgothbabe@xanga - (Regarding the Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory) Me too! I love the scene when they enter the tiny door and the whole room is filled with sweets. Mmm... Haha.
@methodElevated@xanga - That's what she said, lol. http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/18266507cf/that-s-what-she-said
My favorite movie food may well be the pot of soup on Ratatouille. It's so good, I can smell it!
I wrote a page about food movies at http://www.squidoo.com/food-movie if you are looking for some more great food-themed movies. PLUS you can vote for your favorite one.
