Recipes for Perfect Meals with Your Favorite Films
By Francine Segan

Movie Menus pairs classic movies with easy recipes updated from historic cook-books to help you create a sensation dining experience for any film genre.
Both foodies and film buffs will find their passions fulfilled in this deliciously cinematic cookbook, which gathers authentic recipes from the cultures and eras portrayed in your favorite films: Old-Fashioned Southern Fried Chicken with Gravy to savor with Gone with the Wind; Spaghetti and Meatballs with Eggplant for The Godfather; Pan-Seared Steak and Onions with The Alamo; a Victory Garden Salad for Patton.
The chapters are organized into ten distinct film genres-everything from westerns, and romantic comedies to gangster flicks. Treat your family to a complete meal served in popcorn bowls while watching Shrek, or enjoy a Renaissance feast with Shakespeare in Love.
Spiced with film factoids, black-and-white movie stills, famous line, and bloopers, Movie Menus is as fun to read as it is to use.
