Food Movies: The Topic

[FrogPrincesse]

I saw it the other night and it’s a delightful, sensual movie with long, fascinating cooking sequences (including the magnificent opening), and gorgeous photography. Any food lover will enjoy it, for sure!

My Dinner With Andre has always been a favorite, as has Diner (He ate the whole left side of the menu). White Palace has some memorable moments as well.

I saw "The Taste of Things" this weekend, splurged for the big screen.

 

Worth every penny.

Does this count as it's not a movie? Dinner Party Diaries is a new series on Amazon exploring parties hosted by José Andrés:

wonderful look at a 3 star French restaurant.

 

no yelling in the kitchen , although the chef did raise his voice a bit

 

as there were too many kidneys in a pan , thus did not brown properly.

 

fascinating how the individual plates are made up for service .

 

I thought two prices were mentions :  350 a d 550 euros mentioned .

 

the second for a wine pairing menu.

 

but they might have been prices for their hotel.

 

i looked for them again , but they vanished.

I watched 'Ramen Teh' or 'Ramen Shop' over the weekend. A Singaporean Japanese French film shot in Singapore.

It was an order of magnitude too schmalzy for me however the food and food culture shown kept me going to the end.
