The prospect of dinner and a movie is always an enticing one.
Whether it is a date early on in a relationship with all the
apprehension and barely contained frisson that that entails or an
opportunity for a child free evening and the chance to watch a full
length film of your choice without having to keep your finger on
the remote to pause for toilet breaks, the combination of food and
cinema is a winning one. Food is inextricably linked to all aspects
of our lives, food for feasts, food to comfort, food to harm and
always food to raise the sexual tension. Cinematographers know this
too. So often there are dishes in a movie that deserve a mention in
the credits so pivotal are they to the storyline. You only have to
mention "Silence of the Lambs" for fava beans and chianti spring
into the conversation and apple pie is often off or suddenly back
on the menu for anyone who has recently watched American Pie for
the first time. Let us get one thing straight here the dishes
celebrated in this book are not physically available at the
pictures. Food served in containers too large to be used as airline
carryon baggage is not what this book is about. The recipes here
are for those movie moments that made you step away from the
popcorn bucket. Who doesn't want to slice garlic with a razor blade
to create the garlicky spaghetti sauce so lovingly made in
Goodfellas or jump through the screen to nibble absolutely
everything in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory (including Johnny
Depp although that may be just my own fantasy) and every woman on
this planet wants "what she's having" in When Harry met Sally! So
this is your chance, if it was eaten on screen then the recipe for
it may well be in this book. Unless of course you fancy making the
chilled monkey brains from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom in
which case I suggest you still buy the book but change your dessert
plans. What about a nice Apple Strudel from the Sound of Music
instead?

My mother, who is the only daughter of 9 brothers prepared 30 plus
meals a day. Because of her fathers and mothers long time business
connections, church affilitations, and a huge family base, often,
this number swelled. Being able to cook tasty meals that were
healthy and satisfying was a necessity and something to be expected
of my mother and her mother. It wasn't until some years later while
eating tea cakes, my mother stated that we really needed to publish
these heirloom recipes because other people have the same memories.
So, she began her collection of all time favorites as offered by
her cousins, aunts, and occasional uncle. This cookbook is a
starter for someone who wants to remember the smells and tastes of
their home. It serves as a tribute to my mother, her mother and her
mothers mothers recipes. These are our memories stretching back
hundreds of years and we are sharing them with you.
