For my fourth Chef du Cinema class I will be offering up an exciting Cuban menu while discussing the award-winning documentary film that introduced the world to the Cuban ensemble known as the Buena Vista Social Club. Directed by Wim Wenders and featuring guitarist Ry Cooder, the film is a musical travelogue chronicling the group’s live concerts in New York & Amsterdam and offering us a window into their lives in Havana.
THE MENU:
Empanadas de Queso
Mango, Avocado & Red Onion Salad with Papaya-Seed Dressing
Roasted Chicken, Versailles Style w/Black Beans & Rice and Fried Plantains
Coconut Rum Flan

TV Bites: Citizen Dog (Mah nakorn)
THE SNACK:
Nam Tok Moo (Waterfall Spicy Pork Salad)
Note: volume on this trailer is high, turn down volume before playing
Well, I'm on the road in Southeast Asia, so posting will be sparse on the writing, but interesting in the recipes.
My plan is that I've written the movie stuff prior to the trip and will fill in some background & context on stuff from my adventures, but most exciting for you is that I'm taking some cooking classes along the way. So I will be posting recipes from them for this post and the next one on Vietnam. In planning and researching this trip to Thailand & Vietnam I went catching up on some indigenous films looking for one that I wanted to chef-du-cinema-ize.

A little mention in Today's Austin American-Statesman...
I'm very happy that people are digging the Chef du Cinema. I'm sure having fun doing it. Got a nice tip o'the hat from Austin American-Statesman food writer Addie Broyles for this weekend's class (I think there may be one or two tickets left!). Thanks, Addie!

TV Bites: Slacker
THE SNACK:
Les Amis Cafe Black Beans & Brown Rice
Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of its screening at the Sundance Film Festival this week is Slacker where it will be shown again in tribute. So it's time for it to be served up in TV Bites... and to rant about my current hometown a bit.

TV Bites: A Hard Day's Night
THE SNACK
Scouse (Beef & Lamb Stew) w/ Sir Paul McCartney's Mashed Potatoes
Earlier last year, the Vatican decided to "forgive" the Beatles with this odd pronouncement written in the L'Osservatore Romano, the official Pope newsletter: "It's true they took drugs, lived life to excess because of their success, even said they were bigger than Jesus and put out mysterious messages that were possibly even Satanic, [but] what would pop music have been like without the Beatles?"
