One of our Hens, writer director Hannah Robinson, has been asked to curate a season of films for ‘Food of Love’ – movies served with romantic dinner for two, to be screened in a luxury travelling cinema at a series of national food festivals.
So we’ve been drawing up lists of tasty movies and thinking of what to serve with them.
Feel free to send in your suggestions for the menu below…
Could have the right ingredients:
Tom Jones (with lobster, roast chicken, oysters and pears)
Moonstruck (for Pizzas)
Big Night (for Pasta)
Eat Drink Man Woman (with Chinese food)
Jamón, Jamón (with Tapas)
Like Water for Chocolate (not such a great movie but Mexican food’s a must)
Tampopo (egg yolks)
Babette’s feast (bit of a culinary challenge)
The Wedding Banquet (with Gay Chinese food)
Dim Sum (does what it says on the tin)
When Harry Met Sally (with bagels?)
Not exactly a romantic dinner:
The Godfather (good pasta sauce recipe)
Blade Runner (always liked the noodle shacks)
A Night at the Opera (with 2 hard boiled eggs)
Goodfellas (tips on chopping garlic)
Probably off the Menu:
Last Tango in Paris (no one likes butter that much)
The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & her Lover (the last course would be difficult to reproduce)
Delicatessen (similar problem to The Cook the Thief)
