retro-English kitchen
Toast! (SJ Clarkson, 2010) is a comedic drama about British chef Niger Slater in his adolescence. Nigel did not get his culinary fascination from his mother. Her highlight is: toast! After his mother dies, his father falls in love with the housekeeper. She conjures up one delicious dish after another. But Nigel can also cook well. Who will win his father’s love? Atmospheric film about England at the end of the sixties with beautiful images and soundtrack by Dusty Springfield. See first, then believe?
Toast is packed with retro-English dishes from start to finish. Lots of toast, of course. A good old British dinner and a high-tea with sweet treats.
What you see, is what you eat. At exactly the same time you eat whatever is being eaten in the film. Good film + good food + great timing. The punchline is in the latter. An example. If Nigel is feasting on his prawn cocktail at minute 52, we want our guests to taste this dish at the same time. A minute earlier or later determines the difference between good and fan-tas-tastic! Ultimately, it’s about not just seeing or hearing that film, but also tasting and feeling it.

Come on time and get a taste of the atmosphere. No cinema, no restaurant, but an urban or classic ballroom with high ceilings, movie screens and long tables. But first: buy a bottle of wine to accompany the film. Or something else delicious.

At the table, you’ll be told how it works. Seven carefully prepared dishes are served, perfectly timed with the film. There is a break halfway the movie. As soon as the movie starts, the first dishes appear in front of you, quickly and efficiently. Then it’s time to countdown…. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and taste. Together all at once.

You eat exactly the same as the actors in the movie. Right down to the second. So you experience the film with all your senses: see, hear, smell, taste and feel. It couldn’t be more intense. see, hear, smell, taste and feel. As if you were sitting at the table with the actors.
These are the dishes from the movies that you eat on the second flush with the movie.
It is not possible to take allergens into account. If you can’t have something, skip this dish. Also consider the all-vegetarian menu. There are two choices: all dishes as in the movie. Or: fully vegetarian. Changing a dish is not possible.
Some films you don’t just want to watch; you want to taste! This is one of those films. When you see the main characters enjoying all the delicious food, you want to join in. And you can, with Cinema Culinair. Sometimes a dish appears briefly, but often you see the preparation, the moment of tasting, and the aftertaste. That’s truly ultimate. We want you to experience this film like never before. So, smell, taste, and feel what you see on screen. It’s as if you’re right there on the film set. It doesn’t get more intense than this.
For a Dutch audience, the film Toast and its protagonist Nigel may need an introduction. Not many people in the Low Countries will know the British chef / TV cook and writer Nigel Slater. So high time for an introduction of Toast! Nigel Slater Kitchen in Rosemary’s Baby Toast is the name of Nigel Slater’s […]
Movie with dinner
With Le pot-au-feu (2023, Trần Anh Hùn, the film is also known by its title The taste of things), it is simply impossible not to feel like eating. Every scene exudes the love and craftsmanship for French classic cuisine, and the film is romance and cooking course in one. We are in Dodin's imposing mansion where he and his cook Eugénie (Juliette Binoche) prepare the most delicious dishes for friends. In the traditional kitchen without electricity and gas, turbot, vol-au-vent, pigeons and veal backs are silently prepared, all filmed like living paintings that make you long for a sweltering French summer in the country.
