Sweets to the Sweet – Candyman Candied Yams
Our honey sweet potato dish is a favorite in many movie menus, but for Candyman, it is perfect. The recipe uses 5 simple ingredients and pairs perfectly with our City Chicken and Beehive Bunt cake.
City Chicken – The Candyman Setting
This recipe is rumored to have multiple origins but it seems clear that at the heart of it’s creation is a desire to eat something other than chicken, which was considered a “poor man’s” dish. This delicious main course is best created with some veal, but…
Flag Food – The Patriot Movie
We hadn’t planned on making anything for Movies Make the Meal on the 4th of July, but when the movie The Patriot came on, I grabbed the berries and whipped cream and fashioned a little flag. Our guests loved it and while it could have been…
Wax Covered Cherries and Goat Cheese – House of Wax

Cobbled Together Salad – Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein (1994)
We all know the story of Dr. Frankenstein and his monster. As perfect as the Dr. thought he was, the monster got all fired up and ran amok. Fortunately this freakishly good salad will not come back to haunt you, but you probably should make one…
Black Phillip Goat Cheese Stuffed Dates
Why did we choose this recipe for a New England Fairy Tale? Black Phillip is a tempter. The exotic taste of dates coupled with the sharp tang of goat cheese seemed to be a perfect combination to tempt she who wants to taste deliciousness.
The Blob with Digested People
What exactly is a blob if not giant rolling Jello? Genetically enhanced and space grown, this ravenously hungry and strangely sentient thing was so cool to watch devouring everything in sight. We made gelatin with bones and eyeballs, so we could get our just desserts. We…
