The Cult Classic Movies Cookbook offers a unique way to enhance your movie nights with film-inspired food and drink recipes.

Whether you’re relaxing on the couch with a romantic cult classic like The Princess Bride or Harold and Maude, or entertaining a lively group with favourites such as This Is Spinal Tap or The Big Lebowski, you'll want some delicious food to make the evening perfect. For the ultimate experience, you can also enjoy recipes thoughtfully designed to reflect the themes, scenes, and characters of the films you're watching.

Richard Sargent’s entertaining culinary journey traverses the eclectic world of cult movies, covering all subgenres—comedy, horror, romance, and uniquely quirky films that embody the "cult classics" category.

As streaming services and large home screens make viewing films a homely activity, the trend of creating movie food at home grows. Why not elevate it to great movie food? This vibrant and amusing book features easy-to-make recipes that achieve just that. Enjoy recipes like:

  • Coconut-Crusted Chicken Tenders for Monty Python and the Holy Grail (playing on the film's humour of using coconut shells for horse sounds)
  • Shrimp Poppers for Office Space (inspired by Chotchkie’s Restaurant's advertised Shrimp Poppers special)
  • Classic Diner-Style Burger and Fries for Grease 2 (echoing the scene where Michael helps Stephanie with her Hamlet paper in a diner)
  • Champagne-and-Cream-Filled Donuts for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (as served at the movie's Transylvanian Convention)

With a wealth of delicious, kitchen-tested recipes and additional suggestions for movie drinking games—for instance, taking a sip every time Dante says “I’m not even supposed to be here today!” in Clerks—this book is an ideal purchase for anyone who loves cult classics, including yourself!
