Cooking with Scorrsese - The Collection - Book

Cookbooks come in all shapes and sizes, but none have embraced a movie theme quite like this series. Across three volumes, ‘Cooking with Scorsese and Others’ offers an homage to food in film by showing memorable scenes in sequences of screenshots. This new edition collects all three previous volumes in over 500 pages of film & food pleasure. From films where food is the central theme, such as ‘Julie & Julia’ (2009), ‘Tortilla Soup’, ‘Babette’s Feast’ (1987), and ‘Tampopo’ (1985), to ones in which it plays a supporting role, like ‘The Scent of Green Papaya’ (1993), ‘Eat Drink Man Woman’ (1994), and ‘Goodfellas’ (1990), dozens of classic, cult, and perhaps underappreciated or forgotten films can be experienced again in this gastronomic celebration of cinema.

Nearly ten years after the series first began, a new volume brings together all three instalments of Cooking with Scorsese, an ongoing homage to the experience of food on film. In this collection of screenshot sequences extracted from the history of cinema, food becomes a character, a plot point and a sensory experience – with dishes made to sadden, gladden, entertain and seduce. 

The Collection features scenes from more than 50 iconic films, by directors from Wes Anderson and Hayao Miyazaki to Jûzô Itami and Nora Ephron. Conceived and published by design studio HATO, Cooking with Scorsese: The Collection is the latest addition to the ongoing series, which began in 2014, and which encompasses books, a cookbook, a range of apparel and a series of events.
