♥If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies♥

Food and movies go together like, well, popcorn and movies or in my case avo and ginger... Since food is one of the central themes of life, it stands to reason that it would make a good theme for the cinema. I love watching food movies! Have you ever noticed that most of them are about (obviously) food and life/ relationships?

This got me thinking about my relationship with food. I have my ups and downs, my good times and my NOT so good times, inspired times and my JUNK FOOD times.

It also took me back to this movie my mom and sister watched -"Babette's feast". I wonder if this could be where Ana's love of food started? Those days, to me, it was just a weird movie about an onld lady preparing funny stuffed animals and slaving away the whole day..

I’ve seen many lists of food movies that include flicks that have a great food scene or two. Movies such as Diner, Mystic Pizza, Eating Raoul & The Mistress of Spices often show up

While some of them might include some food scenes,i't's mostly not centered around it. For me, to be a true food movie, the film should embody the same trait that makes for a great chef; passion for food. You should leave the theater so inspired that you want to either sprint straight to a great restaurant or to the kitchen.

Tonight make your favourite risotto (or get your brother-in-law to make you some) and rent a few - one for entree, one for main and maybe a few for dessert... My suggestion: Babette's' Feast, Chocolate, Waitress, Julie & Julia, Ratatouille, Women on top and Tortilla Soup.
