About Film Food Books

Welcome to Film Food Books! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Caterina, and this website is a heartfelt exploration of three of my greatest loves: film, food, and books.
For as long as I can remember, stories told on screen and through the written word have captivated me. And, let’s be honest, what often makes those stories even more delicious? The food within them! From the elaborate feasts of a fantasy epic to the comforting meals shared between characters in a beloved novel, food plays such a vital role in setting the scene, revealing character, and sometimes, even driving the plot.
Film Food Books is where I dive deep into these culinary moments. You’ll find me dissecting the iconic dishes from your favorite movies, unearthing the recipes inspired by literary classics, and perhaps even attempting to recreate some of the more fantastical eats that have only ever existed on a page or screen. Whether it’s a detailed analysis of a banquet in a historical drama or a fun recipe inspired by a character’s favorite snack, I’m here to celebrate the delicious intersection of entertainment and eating.
This project holds a particularly special place in my heart right now. Recently, I was diagnosed with cancer, and finding ways to keep my spirits up has become incredibly important. Film, food, and books have always been my escape, my comfort, and my source of joy. Creating Film Food Books is not just a passion project; it’s a way for me to focus on what I love, to share that love with you, and to navigate my journey with creativity and positivity.
When I’m feeling well, I’ll also be bringing Film Food Books to life on my YouTube channel, where you can join me in the kitchen for video recipes, film analyses, and book discussions.
Thank you for joining me on this adventure. I hope Film Food Books brings a little extra joy and deliciousness to your day!
