Nominated for 5 Academy Awards...Chocolat is the beautiful and captivating comedy...Nobody could have imagined the impact that the striking Vianne would make when she arrived in a tranquil, old-fashioned French town. In her very unusual chocolate shop, Vianne begins to create mouth-watering confections that almost magically inspire the straitlaced villagers to abandon themselves to temptation and hapiness! But it is not until another stranger, the handsome Roux, arrives in town that Vianne is finally able to recognize her own desires!
Are you inspired by Vianne...do you want to concoct food...no, magical food to feed to those in need? Will you strive to figure out the desire of a handsome stranger? Or will you cook up a feast bound to make everybody forget themselves and focus on the magic, love, and lure of food? Will you be inspired to bring a basket of homemade goodness just to be friendly and welcoming?

This is awesome! My chocolate-walnut cake was inspired by 'Chocolat'. Great film. Great premise. I was thinking about putting something together myself where I cook food based on some of my favorite movies, but you've done the work, so that's even better! LOL. I can just follow your lead. =)

This is a fantastic idea Heather!! I love movies and I certainly watch a lot of them :-)
ReplyDeleteThe site looks great!!
Brilliant!!! I'm in! :o)
ReplyDeleteVery fun--count me in! I just re-watched a bunch of these titles (it's scary how many of them I actually own) ;-) and moved Chocolat up to the top of my "watch next" pile so your choice and timing are perfect.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea, so count me in, I will get my friend Alisandra to come over and do it with me!
ReplyDeleteI just became a follower...but I'm not sure if that links to blog at Squirrel Head Manor, or it's my "test" blog. Either way, I look forward to joining in.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea Heather! And you couldn't of picked a more appropriate or more charming movie - one of my all-time favorites.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of this - can't wait to join in. Thanks for another great idea.

Can't wait to see what everyone is working up for September's selection, 'Chocolat'. Mine is all ready Heather. =)
ReplyDeleteNice idea! I just added the movie to my to-rent list so I can participate in September. Don't know about the next months, though, because not all movies you guys choose might be available in Germany... But still, I'll follow this blog and participate whenever I can ;o).
ReplyDeleteI'll just hop in and drool over the delicious chocolate recipes you are sure to get here! Would love to participate if I could get hold of a copy of the movie.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic idea! Can't wait to join in next month.
ReplyDeleteBella idea di connettere il cibo ai film...
