This food, cooking, and film essay is told through the lively, warm writing of Parandall, a former broadcast writer, bringing the food in movies vividly to life! I looked at the pictures, read the stories, and imagined the flavors from the recipes. I had such a happy time with this book, and I feel like I learned more about food, too! I highly recommend it.
Blue Moon Jung Young-sun: If life had a recipe
Jeong Yeong-seon, known as Parandall, is a culinary researcher who has published several books, including Parandall’s Cinema Recipes. She was beloved by many listeners for hosting ‘Cinema Food Paradise,’ a popular segment on SBS Radio’s Cine Town for a long time. Her new book, If Life Had Recipes, brings together 25 films and the many stories of food in them. She chose films released in the past ten years, prioritizing works she particularly loves. The food in these films brings back special memories and feelings: the small comfort of a simple meal, an unforgettable memory with someone through love and loss, or the peaceful rest at the end of an exhausting day. These stories warmly satisfy the hunger in our hearts. The sections ‘Gastronomic Humanities’ and ‘Cinema Recipes’ offer deeper understanding and enjoyment of food. Dozens of illustrations recreating scenes from the films make the stories of food even more engaging.
