So What Exactly Is A Movie Mania Class?
Learning to cook is an art in itself – a thrill, a rush, an excitement to create something new.
Blending the love for food with the affinity for movies gives cooking a high of another level.
Food and movies go together like, popcorn and movies.
Since food is one of the central themes of life, it stands to reason that it would make a good theme for cinema, and there have been some great movies based on life’s gastronomic pleasures.
Many writers and directors these days use food as the central theme of their movies, which attracts foodies to like and discuss the movie.
When you watch these movies in a theatre, you are left tempted to cook and eat the exquisite and delicate dishes shown in the movie.
Food can move us emotionally in the ways of paintings and music.
Sometimes, all it takes is a bite or an aroma to get transported back, even if just for a few seconds, into a different time of our life. Food is nostalgic!
Movie Mania: The Movie Classics
Movies such as Ratatouille, The Breakfast Club, Under the Tuscan Sun, Waitress, Sideways, Chocolat and Julie & Julia often show up on lists of movies that are based on food.
The movie Julia & Julie has gained so much popularity amongst cooking enthusiasts that special cooking classes are being arranged to cook some of the movie’s signature dishes.
The movie is a journey of two wonderful women who find their purpose in life in cooking.
It is about Chef Julia Child’s story of her journey in the cooking profession, along with blogger Julie Powell’s challenge to cook all the recipes in Child’s first cookbook.
The movie is based on famous French cuisine.
The movie mania classes will be dedicated to “mastering the art of French cooking”, as shown in the movie.
