Bring on the popcorn.....

Two moves i watched last year that really celebrated food. The Italian portion of Eat, Pray, Love & the whole of Julie & Julia. I was mesmerised and would have loved to emulate the protagonists on their culinary journey.

Eat, Pray, Love has Julia Roberts taking a journey to India, Italy & Bali to get over her bad divorce. In Italy, she learns to cook and cherish Italian food & wine. Italian food has always been delicious and the bright sunny countryside, large families, happy moments depicted in this and other movies makes you want to travel there and experience it for yourself. I hope to do so this year. Stay tuned, if i make it, you will hear all about it.

In Julie & Julia, Meryl Streep plays celebrated chef Julia Child and Amy Adams plays blogger Julie Powell. Julia Child was revolutionary in many ways and Julie pays tribute to her by cooking every recipe in her book and blogging about it. Just loved it.

What are the other movies celebrating food. Share your faves and I will try and have a look and share it on the blog.
