Movie Menus pairs classic movies with easy recipes updated from historic cookbooks to help you create a sensational dining experience for any film genre.
Both foodies and film buffs will find their passions fulfilled in this deliciously cinematic cookbook, which gathers authentic recipes from the cultures and eras portrayed in your favorite films: Old-Fashioned Southern Fried Chicken with Gravy to savor with Gone with the Wind; Spaghetti and Meatballs with Eggplant for The Godfather; Pan-Seared Steak and Onions with The Alamo; a Victory Garden Salad for Patton.
The chapters are organized into ten distinct film genres—everything from “Pharaohs and Philosophers” and “Knights and Kings” to “The Wild West” and “Romantic Dinner for Two”—with a dozen or so recipes each. Treat your family to a complete meal served in popcorn bowls while watching Shrek, or enjoy a Renaissance feast with Shakespeare in Love. Spiced with film factoids, black-and-white movie stills, famous lines, and bloopers, Movie Menus is as fun to read as it is to use, and promises to be a classic.

Movie Menus: Recipes for Perfect Meals with Your Favorite Films
I love this cook book! I'm a huge movie fan and I love to cook. I was so excited to come across it! Fortunately it did not disappoint me. I had so much fun reading through this. I know. You are wondering why only 4 stars then. Unfortunately the recipes are not easily accessible. I highlighted each of them to be able to quickly find the one I want. Also there were no photos of the finished recipe. Not even one. I took half a star for each. If the author corrects this, it is easily a five star book.
There are wonderful photos from the movies. I loved those. They may be the reason why there are no recipe photos. I get that but it is a cookbook. Tossing in a recipe photo from each themed sections would really complete this book. As mentioned, the recipes are divided according to movie themes. This was a brilliant idea for a cookbook. Each themed section includes the recipes, movie quotes and trivia! I love it, love it, love it! I have already sent out texts regarding some of the trivia to my son. The chapter ends with party tips and movie lists. It makes planning a fun night easy peasy. I'm all about stress free entertaining.
In case you are wondering, will she make all the recipes? Are the recipes complicated? Are the ingredients difficult to find? In full honesty, I will definitely not be making every recipe. At least not as they are. Some recipes call for ingredients that I, or a family member or friend, don't care for or are allergic to. Most likely those I will experiment with to make them to our taste. Only a few recipes looked like they would need an experienced cook, (please note: this is only my opinion). For me, the only truly complicated recipes were the ones included, written in their original form, from certain eras. All others, for me, have ingredient lists that contain common food. I live in Alaska so I pretty much believe if I can locate an ingredient, anyone can. Lol.
Overall I am impressed with this cookbook. I believe it to be one I will use often. I would recommend it, especially for movie chefs.
