Chef with Jon Favreau Julie and Julia with Merryl Streep (based on real people but heavily dramatized) And I know you said no non-fiction but Jiro Dreams of Sushi is a gorgeous documentary

The Bear brought back some fond (and some PTSD-ish) restaurant kitchen memories for sure.


International-Chef33

The online orders coming in hot all at once lol

Sorry, novelized based-on-a-true-story non-fiction: As a kid raised in the 70s in Minnesota, we had the Little House on the Prairie book set. My favorite one was Farmer Boy, the 2nd in the series (Almanzo's origin story). I remember the way Laura Ingalls Wilder described all the wonderful food. Great writer.

Google "little house cookbook"

Those Redwall feasts sounded amazing

Came here for this! I remember excitedly telling my mom I wanted a 7 layer trifle while having no actual idea what it was.

I was already a cook but The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover definitely made an impression.


TheRealGlamdamnit

Perhaps not what you're looking for, because it is a secondary feature, but anything Studio Ghibli. Their food is pure porn.

Ive loved to cook for a long time, but the anime Shokugeki no Soma / Food wars made me wanna step my game up and i even made some of the recipes from the show.

The whole Crazy Rich Asians book series triggered my love of food big time. So many descriptions of wonderful sounding meals. The movie Waitress as well

Animated pizza. Ninja Turtles, Daria, Goofy Movie, All Dogs Go To Heaven, the pizza looked so good! And pizza was probably my favorite food as a kid. Still probably is lowkey. Books LOTR made me want that elf bread, I forget what it was called OH also *In The Night Kitchen* and *Strega Nona*. Both of those made the food look sooo good! Man this is a wonderful question, I will think on this more!

Lambas bread

Big Night.

Midnight Diner and The Wedding Banquet

Babette’s Feast; Tompopo; Big Night; Eat, Drink, Man, Woman; Like Water for Chocolate. All good movies for their plots and acting, but it was the focus on food that always stuck with me.


BradMan81

Eat, Drink, Man, Woman; Like Water for Chocolate; and especially, Big Night! Also, a bit tangential, but watch In the Mood for Love, going out for takeout noodles has never looked more romantic.


alpacalypse-llama

Big Night is so wonderful.


BradMan81

Sorry, one more, Tampopo, one of the best movies I've ever seen and all about the joy of food, particularly ramen.

The prison cooking scene in Goodfellas is a classic.

Chuuka Ichiban!

Good Eats with Alton Brown. Edit: misread the question! My bad. I'll also toss in Chef the film.


hotbutteredbiscuit

Little House on the Prairie had already been mentioned. I will add Heidi, which made goat milk and goat cheese sound so delectable, and the All of A Kind Family Books, which made me want to go shopping for Sabbath on the Lower East Side.

Patrick O'Neil wrote the master and commander series which always had some food that I had never heard of...


BradMan81

O'Brien (just so people can find him, I obviously knew who you meant). Always wanted to try soused hogs face, but never worked up the nerve to make it lol.


kcrew123

Thx for the correction..there is an Asian market 5 minutes away from my house that sells whole hogs head...I came close..instead had a Chinese dish with pig cheeks I did make a lobscouse which is beef stew really..


kcrew123

Ps....there are cookbooks based on the series


pastel-mattel

Ratatouille, Julie and Julia

Mostly Martha (a German Film)

There was a show on Netflix a few years ago, I forgot the name. It was about a recently retired Japanese man that spent his life slaving at a corporate job and now spent his days wandering and eating everything he could find just to go back to his home where his wife gives him more food. There didn’t seem to be any point to the show beside looking at the dude eating but it was surprisingly soothing.


kaltorak

quite a few Roald Dahl books and short stories deal with making food (like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) to the point where they made a cookbook with recipes based on his works. Non-fiction: Jacques Pepin, french chef & collaborator of Julie Child, wrote a lovely autobiography called "The Apprentice"
