Cinzia Cuneo, founder of SOSCuisine.com, never wanted to neglect the quality of her food. She shares her special expertise to make good food quickly and without complications!
Babatte’s Feast should be on this list if only to show how people can be swayed by food in all it’s glory
Chocolat with Juliette Binoche, Judy Dench and Johnny Depp is UNFORGETTABLE!
I would like to add the following 2 movies: Like Water for Chocolate and Dona Flor and her two husbands.
L’Odeur de la Papaye Verte (The Scent of Green Papaya) should have been on the list, it is a wonderful movie. Also agree with another comment about Babette’s Feast which should have been no. 1 on your list.
Totally Babette’s feast #1
Also Tampopo should have definitively be there.
