Overview
Whether you’re curling up on the couch with your partner to enjoy a romantic cult classic like The Princess Bride or Harold and Maude or hosting a boisterous crowd for a screening of the cult favorites This Is Spinal Tap or The Big Lebowski, you want some really good food to make the evening just about perfect. To make it completely perfect, you also want recipes that are cleverly conceived to mirror themes, scenes, and characters in the film you’re watching. And that’s exactly what you get in Richard Sargent’s fun-loving culinary romp through the landscape of cult movies, with examples from all the subgenres—comedy, horror, romance, and, well, just plain quirky—that make up the category “cult classics.
Now that streaming services and oversized television screens have brought most movie-viewing out of the theater and into the home, more and more movie food is made at home, too. Why not make it truly great movie food? The easy-to-make recipes in this funny, colorful book make that possible. The pairings include:
- Coconut-Crusted Chicken Tenders for watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail (because the movie makes fun of itself for saving money on special effects by clapping coconut shells together to sound like horses’ hooves)
- Shrimp Poppers for watching Office Space (because Chotchkie’s Restaurant, which plays a large role in the film, has a Shrimp Poppers special they advertise)
- Classic Diner-Style Burger and Fries for watching Grease 2 (because Michael helps Stephanie write her Hamlet paper at a local diner and they discuss ... ketchup!)
- Champagne-and-Cream-Filled Donuts for watching The Rocky Horror Picture Show (because the Transylvanian Convention in the movie serves elegant donuts like these)
With dozens and dozens of delectable kitchen-tested recipes, and with lots of suggestions for cult-classic-movie drinking games thrown in for extra fun—such as taking a sip every time Dante says “I’m not even supposed to be here today!” in Clerks—this is the perfect purchase for anyone you know (yourself included!) who loves the cult classics.
