Delicious Recipes from Hollywood

This is awards season – and while you’re watching your favorite stars on the red carpet – we’re thinking about the food that makes us drool on the big screen! In honor of this weekend’s Screen Actors Guild Awards and the upcoming Oscars we’re recreating our favorite movie meals.

MSN has compiled a great list of movies and the foods the films are famous for. Here are a few of our favorites, along with recipes to make at home!

“Chocolat” makes my sweet tooth swoon! The scenes in Juliette Binoche’s chocolate shop are beautiful tributes to dessert and the healing power of chocolate. Make homemade dark chocolate truffles and thank us later! (We can’t promise Johnny Depp will show up.) These would also be a wonderful gift for Valentine’s Day.

“Big Night” stars Stanley Tucci and is a tribute to Italian food and the passion behind the dishes. If you’re feeling ambitious – try your hand at making Timpano.

This dish is a show-stopper  - a pastry crust filled with pasta, sauce, meatballs and cheese. It’s cooked in layers and sliced like a cake to serve. It is magnificent and worth the work that goes into it. For a recipe to share – we love the creation from blogger Proud Italian Cook.

“My Big Fat Greek Wedding” is full of wonderful dishes – from Baklava to Bundt cake. Baklava is great to make – because you need to let it sit overnight before serving – and can even make it up to 5 days ahead of time! To create the famous Greek pastry – we love Alton Brown’s recipe. This Lemon Ginger Bundt Cake would be a delightful treat for a party or as a hostess gift – even if the recipient doesn’t know why there’s a hole in the middle. Watch this video clip and laugh.

And who can forget the gorgeous dishes in “Ratatouille?” A dish called Confit Byaldi from Thomas Keller is actually the inspiration for the ratatouille served to critic Anton Ego. The dish transports him back to his childhood and his true love of food. This recipe for the dish takes some time – but the flavors are worth the effort!
