Food in Julie and Julia (2009)
It’s 13 years later and no one can touch the movie.
As a tribute for the woman who began it all, Julie Powell, I am beginning a series where I present the food of Julie and Julia. The movie was perhaps my awakening to the magic that food is and made me fall in love with it. It made me appreciate the beauty of food and the ingredients. 
Dishes in the shots above :
1. Sole Meuniere
2. Chocolate Cream Pie
3. Bruschetta
4. Artichokes with Hollandaise Sauce 
The shots of food in this movie are the best you will ever see. So keep a look out for the next #foodinmovies post!

I’m going to be honest, I have already seen the more modern, popular food movies. Chef, Burnt, Ratatouille; even though I plan to watch them again as part of this project, I’m getting seriously troubled by the fact that most food movies to watch are…kinda old. I have always thought there is charm in vintage, always believed that classics are classics for a reason, and that they belong to yesteryears for a reason. I don’t know why it has just occurred to me, that there has been so much progress in cinema and story writing.
Thank the lord, we don’t have to bear with too many misogynstic stereotypes anymore. Waitress is a story of…a waitress named Jenna. Jenna is an extremely unhappy woman with an abusive husband and she has a bun in the oven which she absolutely loathes. She is absolutely wonderful at making pies. She invents a new one everyday! You think this movie is going in a direction where Jenna is all about taking charge of her own life, but no. She’s a Mary Sue. She is the Hollywood version of a sad Bollywood female lead, who is always too good to anybody, no matter how horribly they treat her.
Each shot of pies in this movie make your mouth water. Luckily, there are a lot of them. It is what saves the movie, but they begin to lose the pie-plot as well, they only really use it well in the first part of the film. You guys, I have no qualification to call myself a critic, I haven’t even seen Pulp Fiction (geez). I just want to enjoy movies which use food as a tool that contributes to the movie, and isn’t just there to make a hit trailer. I really don’t want to watch movies that were not made in this decade for a while, so I’m going to shift to food books.
I’m always on the lookout for suggestions! Whoever is reading? Hit me up?

Nice to Meat You!
Hi there! My name is Tulip Serbin and I am a budding food anthropologist from Pittsburgh, PA. While completing my undergraduate degree in Anthropology at The University of Pittsburgh, I found myself gravitating towards subjects of food when writing papers or doing projects. It got to a point where I created my own concentration in the Cultural Anthropology major and began studying food symbolism and its place in culture. In other words, I looked at how food can be used as a symbol to portray different themes.
Through this blog I want to continue looking at media through the lens of food and investigate different symbols and themes!

A preview of Boning a duck.  
This scene beautifully depicts the relationship between Julia and Paul Child. The shot of Julia from the perspective of Paul is delightful. Her positive and cheerful disposition is infectious.
More detailed shots of boning a duck coming up in the future posts.

So, it's over. The project has come to a close. We're back exactly where we started - Eric, me, the cat, slightly worse for wear, sitting in the outer boroughs, eating
So, thanks everybody! And guess what?
Bon Appetit!
The last of the Julie and Julia food scenes. This was truly a fun experience. Until next time :)

Moving on to the next dishes of Julie and Julia
1. Poulet au Porto (Roast Chicken with Port Wine, Cream and Mushrooms)
2. Poached Eggs
3. Caneton au cerises (Roast Duck with cherries)
4. Sweet Souflles
The dishes are usually from Julie’s portion since she is the one trying them out. Here’s to hoping that shots can be included from Julia’s portion as well. So far, there have only been a few ingredient shots or passing shots. Since I am concentrating on dishes in this series, it does not make sense to include other stuff. 
Looking forward to posting the next bunch of dishes! Till then, Bon Appetit!

It’s Judith Jones, the editor who’s responsible for getting Julia’s cookbook published way back when. The woman who recognized history in an onionskin manuscript. 
Boeuf Bourguignon which was the first dish she cooked upon reading Mastering the Art of French Cooking for the first time.

Okay, this is slightly embarrassing but I don’t have a clue as to what these dishes are. 
I tried some researching but couldn’t find anything conclusive. Rather than spread false information, I think I’ll leave to people who might have an idea about it. Please do let me know if you know these dishes. 
Other than that, bon appetit! 
P.S - I believe this is one of the sweetest moments during the Julie Powell-Eric Powell relationship.

We have finally entered the Julia Child cooking portion! 
It might not be as detailed as Julie’s portion but Julia’s enthusiasm and love for French food really rubs off on you. It’s hard to not fall in love with even a cheese board. 
1. Tarte Tatin
2. Cheese Board
3. Mayonnaise

And we are BACK!!
The Chapter of Boeuf Bourguignon with a cameo by Raspberry Bavarian Cream
I fell in love with the dish on first sight. Boeuf Bourguignon is the most beautiful dish of the entire movie. Something about the preparation and Julie’s style of cooking strikes the scene. 
To be honest, even the burnt version of the dish looks amazing to me.

Julie’s Birthday Party with Lobster Thermidor 
There was no decent shot of the dish so let’s all just say “Braised cucumbers are a revelation!”

We are, I am sorry to say, entering aspics. 
I figured that if I am going to show the best parts of the food in the movie, I should show bad ones too. 
The dishes attempted here are :
1. Beef Flavoured Jell - O Mould (Aspic)
2. Poulet Roti a la Normande (Normandy Roasted Chicken)
