There is no other film that quite captures the relationship between food and happiness other than Chef. With Jon Favreau acting as the lead, here we have a story of a chef unhappy with his corporate job who quits to start-a perhaps over-the-top- food truck. Every scene in the movie is a positive mood, with Cuban sandwiches sizzling on the grill and crusty warm bread full of butter crackling in the pan. It is a heartwarming feel-good movie that immediately gives you food cravings for some comfort food.
This movie is a double treat for foodies and wannabe cooks. The tale follows alternatingly between Julia Child mastering French cuisine and Julie Powell cooking through her entire cookbook. Expect stews, sauces, pastries, and a mountain of buttery goodness. By the end, you’re definitely going to want to go and try a recipe or two.
Pixar’s classic isn’t just charming it celebrates cooking as a form of art. Watching the realistic detailing of chopping, sautéing, plating, and tasting really makes you crave. The ratatouille dish depicted in the movie is literally an iconic number and very much unforgettable. Great for families, animation buffs, and just about anyone who appreciates the art of good food.
This Indian gem brings aroma to the screen. The homemade lunches, dabba system of delivery, and heartwarming narrative all fit together wonderfully. With lovingly prepared curries, rotis, chutneys, and tiffins in front of you, you cannot help to appreciate everyday Indian cooking better.
This documentary turns sushi into poetry. It tells the story of Jiro Ono, the sushi master at age 85, whose pursuit of perfection is far beyond any imagination. You will find yourself craving sushi, never fresher in your life.
