8 film and food pairings to liven up your movie nights
The Vintage Chef Olivia Potts 15 May 2019 Read on Recipe: Waldorf salad Olivia Potts If it’s true that we eat first with our eyes, then watching films can be an exquisite torture: shots filled with feasts and family dinners, rituals and traditions; dishes we never get to taste. Of course, food is never just food, even on the silver screen: it can delight, disgust, thrill, or tug at the heartstrings.
