Movie Menus

Movie Menus will appeal to both foodies and film buffs, who will find their passions fulfilled in this deliciously cinematic cookbook. Here are authentic recipes from the cultures portrayed in your favorite classics: Old Southern Fried Gravy to savor with Gone with the Wind, Spaghetti alla Puttanesca with The Godfather, Grilled Porterhouse Steak with Blazing Saddles, Middle Eastern Red Lentil Soup with Yogurt and Lemon for an evening in Casablanca. Chapters contain a dozen or so recipes each and are organized into ten distinct film genres--everything from Food of the Ancients and Kings and Knights' to The Wild West and Romantic Dinners for Two. Indulge your family with a three-course dinner in popcorn bowls while watching Shrek, or enjoy a smorgasbord of exotic dishes with The King and I. Spiced with film factoids, black-and-white movie stills, famous limes, and bloopers, Movie Menus is as much fun to read as it is to use, and promises to be a classic in itself.
