Food in Films – Moonstruck

~ foodinbooks ~ 29 Comments

I grew up watching the film Moonstruck over and over and over again. The sense of romance, of the adventure of being set in New York City - a city which has fascinated me since I was a very small girl - the hilariousness of the characters and that overall sense of family all combined … Continue reading Food in Films – Moonstruck

Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare

Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo? Well, it's Valentine's Day so really, what other tale of star-crossed love, murder and suicide could I possibly blog about on this day of hearts and romance than Romeo and Juliet? Seriously though, during my recent move, I finally found my huge book of Shakespeare's plays which had been … Continue reading Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare

Food in Films – Star Wars: A New Hope

~ foodinbooks ~ 19 Comments

It's the end of an era. Or at least, the official end of the Star Wars films. I haven't actually seen the last film, but I have an idea of how it ends. Don't spoil it for me in the comments! That being said, part of what I did to prepare for this end game … Continue reading Food in Films – Star Wars: A New Hope

Talking To The Dead by Helen Dunmore

~ foodinbooks ~ 25 Comments

Helen Dunmore has such a lush style of writing that you often don't notice she's sucking you into a maelstrom of subtle discord until it's too late. Talking to the Dead is the first book by her I'd ever read and her literary style is absolutely amazing, combining the understated unease of family dynamics with … Continue reading Talking To The Dead by Helen Dunmore

The Curse of the Blue Figurine by John Bellairs

~ foodinbooks ~ 6 Comments

I thought it would be fun to blog about books I loved as a kid that also scared the crap out of me. I clean out books on a fairly regular basis because I buy so many of them, and I donate many to Little Free Libraries around my city. So while cleaning out my … Continue reading The Curse of the Blue Figurine by John Bellairs

The Godfather by Mario Puzo

~ foodinbooks ~ 23 Comments

I'm a bore on the topic of books vs. films, as I've been told many times, and I'd have to agree. Don't get me started on whether the film version is better than the book, because I will wax poetic for a good hour or two about the merits of the book and how the … Continue reading The Godfather by Mario Puzo

Food in Films – Amélie

~ foodinbooks ~ 25 Comments

I decided to do a little something different for this blog post. Many people have suggested different recipes or dishes to me that they saw in a film version of a movie, and I loved the idea but wanted to stick with my original concept of creating food either directly mentioned in a book or … Continue reading Food in Films – Amélie

Lisette’s List by Susan Vreeland

~ foodinbooks ~ 25 Comments

I went into this book expecting a nice, escapist type of read as I recovered from minor outpatient surgery this past weekend. It was recommended by two friends of mine as a book filled with art and food and set in France, and both of them were sure I'd love it. I minored in Art … Continue reading Lisette’s List by Susan Vreeland

The Lost Book of the Grail by Charlie Lovett

~ foodinbooks ~ 19 Comments

I admit to having been a Grail fan since I read Le Morte d'Arthur many years ago. The romance of the Arthurian legend combined with the mysticism of the Cup of Christ is the ultimate story, isn't it? King Arthur courting Guinevere, Sir Lancelot falling in love with Guinevere and his relationship with Elaine, Arthur's … Continue reading The Lost Book of the Grail by Charlie Lovett
