This week as I randomly clicked through the internet I stumbled upon quite a few things that had to do with associating food and my current pop culture obsessions, which of course are Mad Men and The Hunger Games. I’m guessing that you are also watching Mad Men and possibly The Hunger Games. I have read all the books but not yet seen Hunger Games and as I patiently wait for my 10 year old to read it (in all fairness he just got a copy this week…no pressure buddy!) I will think about these fun food ideas to celebrate my future viewing.
Hunger Games
Fictional Food has a wide variety of articles and recipes based on the books and movie.
Yum Sugar has another fun round up of movie inspired food.
My favorite are these beautiful cupcakes from Diamonds for Dessert .
Mad Men
Epicurious has a Mad Men Menu that includes Beef Wellington, one of my favs.
Yum Sugar again with lots of fun Mad Men Cocktails
Happy viewing!
I find it very interesting that two of your favorite dishes (wellington and creamed spinach) are on the menu! I think you’ve been creating a mad men-style cooking repertoire without noticing it.
Quite true, I guess I’m a old fashioned in my food preferences!
I would say you are traditional and classic. Probably has something to do with your kids and husband’s tastes too.
I think perhaps that do have a large influence….
I just read the books…..and I honestly cannot believe there’s all these sites with recipes for the food!!! I’m waiting for Rob to read it in hopes we’ll make it to the movie before it’s gone from theaters.
