When I first conceived this idea, I decided that there were certain movies -- let's call them "obvious" -- which I just would not do a class on. not that they're bad movies, it's just that they are, you know, "obvious."
Then this morning I spied @ food buzz a link to this woman's blog and her list of her "top 10 food movies." I clicked over and it was like she had organized a list of my "don't do" movies. And so I'm reproducing that list for future reference.

The Class: Casablanca
THE MEAL:
Borani Laboo (Beet & Yogurt Dip) with Pita Chips
Sultan’s Tajine (Chicken Tajine w/Preserved Lemons and Sultanas)
Whole Wheat Couscous with Toasted Almonds and Dried Cranberries
Moroccan Mint Tea Sorbet
The inaugural “Chef du Cinema” class was a huge success. I want to thank all the folks who showed up as well as the Central Market Cooking School (especially Meredith, Scott and Louis) for helping to make it all happen and go so smoothly. We were sold out and everyone left satiated and happy.

who is this chef du cinema?
My name is Ron Deutsch. I am a filmmaker, cook, journalist, author, and general gadabout. This blog is an extension of my "Chef du Cinema" classes. Students learn to prepare a four-course menu which relates to the movie we will show after the demonstration... then, we eat and watch. For a quick summary of what this is & how to make sense of it all, click to this post.
Discover new movies and recipes, or revisit films or dishes you've loved. Make your own dinner & a movie party or an intimate night at home. It's your adventure too. I look forward to hearing from you....
