In an asap interactive, HOWIE RUMBERG and PETER HAMLIN combine mouthwatering movie clips with recipes that can help you make life imitate art.
It's no surprise that food, a basic need, has been obsessed over in movies since "Birth of a Nation."
With the success of the cute and clever "Ratatouille" this year, HOWIE RUMBERG and PETER HAMLIN decided to examine the humorous connections between food and character in that movie and in "Goodfellas," "Super Size Me," "American Pie" and Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life."
Take a look at this asap interactive to watch video clips of some food-filled scenes -- and to get some related recipes you can try at home.
