Tenaya DarlingtonMovie Night Menus: Dinner and Drink Recipes Inspired by the Films We Love (Turner Classic Movies)

Highly recommend. I love the idea for this book; it's cute for dinner parties or at home date nights. I've made 6 or so of the dinner + drink recipes, and they've all been really good and not too complicated. The drinks are strong! As for the movies, I've liked most of the ones we've watched, but they've been more hit or miss for my spouse.

This book is so well written! Really great!My mom loved it!

This book traces the history of films and food or drinks that go with them. Each chapter covers a different film tells you something about it and gives recipes for food and cocktails either in the film or inspired by it.for example Casablanca has a Morrocan dish that certainly they might have eaten in the city but never drank, and a french 75- a wonderful cocktail that you do hear ordered. over all it's fun. If you love movies or cooking it is a fun little book and you might even want to watch the movies . though I'll confess. it will be a long time before I want to try the avacado based booze they suggest for 'rope'

OMG, OMG, OMG!! I'm so in love with the Darlingtons. Some of their ideas parallel mine, some ARE. mine, some are so much better than mine that I'll never tell ANYBODY they weren't mine I adore these two and their menus/recipes that can even apply to similarly themed newer movies. You figure out which ones, they've already spoiled us by doing too much work. Their recipes are simple, but not ordinary. Straightforward, but not boring. They are delightful and hone right in on period and place. For someone who has "played this game" matching movies and food and finding a couple eerily on the same frequency is astounding, a huge surprise, pleasure and a brilliant opportunity to fall in love with classic movies, good food that's fun and two new and wonderful friends. Wow.

Love this specially for girls night and even just for your self and a movie.

Anyone who loves to cook and/or enjoys cocktails will find this book valuable. If youlove classic films, this is a must have. The recipes are inspired by the movies, and each one is accompanied by delightful vignettes about that particular film. There are also wonderful pictures throughout.

This was a Christmas gift for a couple who enjoys old movies, great food, and fun cocktails. This book has all three!

I bought this for my son who loves old movies. I paged through and it looks like a lot of fun. Can’t wait to give it to him at Christmas. Lots of still pics from some of his favorite movies.
