TV Bites: Holiday
THE SNACK:
Katharine Hepburn’s Brownies
This is one where I found the recipe first and then chose the movie. There are just so many great Kate Hepburn movies, but the trio of comedies she made with Cary Grant: Bringing Up Baby, Holiday, and The Philadelphia Story, are my favorites. So which to pick? It wasn’t hard. Both Baby & Philadelphia Story I think are more popular, while Holiday is the often overlooked as neglected middle-child.

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....
