It’s August. It’s too hot to cook, so beat the heat and feed your soul with a foody movie served up with plenty of air conditioning. Grab some snacks. Curl up on the couch and chill out.

A favorite foody movie of mine is “Ratatouille” from Disney/ Pixar. It’s an animated movie about the love of food.

Ratatouille, the main character, is a very cute, very lovable rat who’ll warm your heart with his child like innocence. Rat? Did I say rat?

Through the magic of Disney, you’ll overlook his species, seeing instead a great chef. Ratatouille, a play on words that names him for the classic French eggplant dish, will teach you about food pairing, spices and the glories of food as you watch him transform a ho-hum restaurant into a gourmet’s paradise.

Just out is “Julie and Julia.” Julie is writer who decides to prepare every recipe in Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Julia is Julia Child, who wrote the 1974 classic that started us down the mad of culinary excellence. I haven’t seen this movie yet, but the reviews are good and I’m salivating. Meryl Streep, by the way, plays Julia.

1 remember Julia when she first stumbled onto the air waves broadcasting from a new channel called “Educational TV.” It was a dismal station. No fancy sets, no National Geographic tours of far away places and no Big Bird.
