With food trucks and Social Media all the things that are currently in, it is not surprising that this Foodie movie caught my attention. Stuck in a dead end job killing his creativity Chef Casper after a Twitter war with a food critic he packs in his job and heads to Miami where he decides to fix up a beaten up food truck. Chef Casper decides to make and serve the foods he loves and makes a trip across Los Angeles with his son and friend. Stopping of at various places they use local ingredients in their sandwiches.

Along the way Adam loses the plot and turns to drugs. He decides to make a comeback into the world of food and go for this third Michelin star in London. Follow the journey of this chef with a love story added for good measure.
5) Julie & Julia
I must admit before watching this movie in 2009Â I had never heard of Julia Child and this totally embarrasses me to no end. A young lady in a dead end job decides to spend one year cooking all 524 recipes from Julia Child’s cookbook Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Julie decides to start a blog and record her progress. Viewers then are taken back in France in the 1950s and find out about who Julia Child really is. This movie is fantastic on so many levels make sure you have lots of snacks when watching.
6) The Hundred Foot Journey
A quirky movie that follows the Kadam family and their dream of introducing Indian food to the West. As asylum seekers the family starts of in London but then move to France to explore the food scene. Imagine the French and their response to Indian cookery. A feud of restaurants occur ,with a romance  infused into the mix. This is a great example of East meets West.
Each of these movies I have watched several times over and each time I learn something else. I am very inspired to get into the kitchen and cook after watching these movies. These movies are defo food for my soul. Have you watched any of these Foodie Movies? Any suggestions for me ?
