I’m always on the hunt for a good culinary-themed movie and I think I may have hit the jackpot with The Taste of Things (France 2023). It’s a beautifully shot film that totally focuses on food (and love). I hosted that film for Movies & Munchies for May.
We had four participants this month.

The Movies & Munchies film for March is Wild Mountain Thyme (2020). Terri from Our Good Life (https://www.terristeffes.com/) is hosting.
