5 Cozy Movies for Foodies

5 Cozy Movies for Foodies

Craving something warm and comforting to watch? These five films are perfect for curling up on the couch with a blanket and your favorite snack - right into the fall mood!
To cater properly, find our team's personal notes added to each one. 

1. Julie & Julia (2009)
This heartwarming film follows two women with a shared passion for cooking: Julia Child, the iconic French chef, and Julie Powell, a blogger who decides to cook all 524 recipes from Child's cookbook in one year.

Our take: The real treat here is the blend of different scenery and timezones with the counterpoint of a universal shared love of food that bonds despite distance.

2. Chef (2014)
Join Chef Carl Casper as he leaves his high-pressure job to start a food truck with his son, serving up delicious Cuban sandwiches. The film is filled with heartwarming moments, beautiful scenery, and mouthwatering food.

Our take: Upbeat, fun yet somehow still heartwarming. This one is, to us, a perfect Saturday afternoon movie that should end just in time for dinner sandwiches prepared by as many people together as possible!

3. Eat Pray Love (2010)
This romantic comedy-drama follows Elizabeth Gilbert as she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, traveling to Italy, India, and Bali. Along the way, she discovers a newfound appreciation for food, culture, and herself.

Our take: Yes, most likely a rewatch for every food-lover out there. Still, works as a timely needed reminder to put oneself out there and try new things (foods...) out!

4. Burnt (2015)
This culinary drama follows a talented chef who tries to redeem his career after a personal and professional downfall. The film is filled with intense cooking scenes, a complex protagonist, and a satisfying ending.

Our take: This one demands some more attention that the other options - but is no less worth the time. For the nuance-seekers among you...

5. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (2018)
Set during World War II, this romantic drama tells the story of a writer who begins corresponding with a book club on the island of Guernsey. The film is filled with beautiful scenery, heartwarming characters, and a touching love story.

 Our take: Downright cute - to be watched with handy cookies and some tea!

Afterwards, in the near-certain case one of them made you feel like getting your oven mitts on... get your Ceraflame out of the cupboard alongside it, and get to cooking!

We hope you enjoy it,
