Publishers Text

Many of our favorite movies are filled with memorable food scenes. From Dustin Hoffman as Raymond eating eight fish sticks, lime jello and orange soda for his Wednesday lunch in Rainman, to John Belushi as Bluto starting the famous food fight in Animal House, or Jack Nicholson as Robert Dupeau trying to order a plain order of toast by way of a chicken salad sandwich in Five Easy Pieces, this book offers a collection of famous movie meal scenes along with their accompanying recipes. Revisit Meg Ryan as Sally as she "fakes it" in the deli in When Harry Met Sally, remember Grace Kelly seductively asking Cary Grant if he would prefer "a leg or a breast" of chicken during To Catch a Thief, and plunge into the scores of ways to prepare shrimp as told by Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump. Along with a reflection on the movie, each famous scene is expanded with a recipe from the meal, so readers can recreate cornbread from To Kill a Mockingbird, fried green tomatoes from the movie of the same name, castle pudding from National Velvet, or lasagna from The Godfather.
