The other is a series featuring baker Hannah Swenson, who owns a shop called The Cookie Jar. There have been a couple of movies made based on Hannah Swenson mysteries. I believe they are Hallmark movies.
I also love them. They are one of my favorites.

But I always found the wizard candy in Harry Potter was fascinating too. I have made butter beer and pumpkin juice several times and also Kreacher's onion soup.
Oh my god. That is not juvenile at all. Ratatouille is the GOAT of all cooking movies to me.

I'm glad I read it cos I felt he just wanted to stress me at that time😂 right before he taught me the rudiments on how to cook. From that moment going forward, I loved books and cooking like my life depended on it
I have not read this book. But thanks to you, it is now on my wishlist.

I don't have any specific show or book but i love watching some shows on realtime about food. Social media is also a great source of inspiration.

I really don't know so many but I did watch Ratatouille and loved it. Remy had such great cooking talent. The different foods he made looked really mouth-watering. I've also seen some live adoption of the ingredients and methods of preparation and it turned out well too

Kung Fu chef is my favorite movie about cooking. It made me so hungry.

Ratatouille takes the win, of course in real life none of us can eat a meal prepared by a rat but it looked good on screen. I wouldn't mind trying the actual real life version of the food

My all time favorites is Burnt, No Reservations and Chef. Great actors, amazing storylines and up close footage of the food and the love of making the food also comes through.

The first movie that came to mind was Chef starring Jon Favreau. What a delightful little film! After that, I fondly remember No Reservations with Catherina Zeta Jones.
