Turner
Classic Movies: Movie Night Menus: dinner and Drink Recipes Inspired by the
Films We Love – Tenaya Darlington and Andre Darlington (Running Press)
Take thirty classic movies from a variety of genres and
pair them with food and drink combos that fit well with the movie’s story lines
and you end up with the winning combo that is at the heart of Turner Classic Movies: Movie Night Menus:
dinner and Drink Recipes Inspired by the Films We Love, from brother and
sister writing duo, Tenaya Darlington and Andre Darlington.
The idea here is not to take food and drinks that were
served in the movie per see, but to take inspiration from the film’s time
period, setting or theme and create unique dishes and drinks that make a
perfect match.
This makes for some interesting gastric concoctions and
I think it will make for some equally interesting dinner/screening parties. Take
the James Bond classic, Dr. No, with
its exotic locales in Jamaica, curvy Bond girl Ursula Andress and the always
cool British spy then it only makes sense that the menu features martinis and
spicy jerk seasoned shrimp. Now you get the idea.
The movies are as carefully curated as the menus they are
paired with including; Casablanca, Giant,
Some Like It Hot, Moonstruck, the Big Chill among many classics. This one
is a perfect slice of fun and will be a great reference for die hard film fans
or those seeking to expand there horizons.
