book review: charcuterie for movie fans

I just found the perfect book for my aunt Jackie and uncle Bob who are huge move fans and amazing gourmet cooks. Once Upon a Rind in Hollywood: 50Movie-Themed Cheese Platters and Snack Boards for Film Fanatics.

 

This is a unique cookbook featuring 50 different snack board ideas, from timeless charcuterie to candy platters and cocktail pairings, all themed around iconic movies.

This book outlines everything you need to create cheesy cinematic pairings (and even cheesier puns) like:

 

*May the Fromage Be with You (Star Wars)

*Draw Me Like One of Your French Gruyères (Titanic)

*I’ll Harvarti What She’s Having (When Harry Met Sally)

*Quesoblanca (Casablanca)

*Brie-king Dawn (Twilight)

*Roquefort Horror Picture Show (Rocky Horror Picture Show)

And so many more!

I even picked up a copy for myself because I feel like you never know when you'll have the occasion to celebrate your favorite films. 

I'm going to keep my eye out on TCM for some of the movies featured in this book and then DVR them for a fun-filled film night! 

Creating a delicious movie-themed charcuterie platter and pairing it with that movie is just the party theme I need for 2023!
