STARS ARE FINDING more competition
than ever for screen time—cakes,
turkeys and casseroles are ready for
their close-ups, Mr. DeMille.
Before millions of people started
tuning in to watch Top Chef in highdefi
nition, the food used in movies was
allowed to languish on set for hours,
shellacked to a shiny fi nish. The actors
ate as little of it as possible. But as
audiences have grown savvier, food has

Julie & Julia and other delicious blockbusters put
food—and those who style it—in the spotlight.

come into focus—and this year it looked
especially luscious.
In cuisine-centric Julie & Julia, Amy
Adams portrays Julie Powell, a New
York City food blogger who cooks her
way through Julia Child’s recipes. Child
is played by Meryl Streep, and in the
spaces between fl ashbacks to Child’s
culinary training in France and scenes
of Powell’s present-day experiment,

and tender bouef bourguignon take
center stage.
“You have to remember that in this
movie, almost every scene is an eating
scene,” says Susan Spungen, the stylist
who created the dishes, “so it’s not like
the food could be fake in any way, they
had to actually eat it. It really was a
hundred percent real.”
Cuisine became a third star of the
fi lm. Adams, Streep, Stanley Tucci

and Chris Messina devoured plates
of bruschetta, dollops of cheese and
fi stfuls of dessert. The food made the
actors fat (by their own admission),
won raves from critics and rocketed
Spungen to a spot as one of Hollywood’s
hottest gourmet gurus. By the time Julie
& Julia comes out on DVD (December
8), Spungen’s next foodie fl ick, Nancy
Meyers’ It’s Complicated, will be on the
way to cinemas.
While that kind of epicurean
evolution is to be expected in foodcentric
fi lms, adventure epics and
cartoons are looking increasingly
delicious, too. In Harry Potter and
the Half-Blood Prince, for example,
butterbeer overfl ows from the mugs
of Hogwarts students at The Three
Broomsticks tavern, and Mrs. Weasley’s
Christmas cookies come in Hagridworthy
quantities. Whereas the title
characters in Lady and the Tramp once
nuzzled over a simply drawn plate of
pasta, the high-tech animation in fi lms
such as Ratatouille makes soup steam
and sauté pans sizzle. In Disney Pixar’s
Up, even the dogs can cook. The food
revolution has arrived.
“Food in all aspects, whether it’s
advertising or editorial or movies, is
looking more organic than before,”
TASTY
MORSELS
One great food item can make a
movie memorable. These fi ve treats
reached cult classic status.
SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS
Lady and the Tramp, 1955
Two pooches smooch
over a noodle.
says stylist Valerie Aikman-Smith,
who has worked on fi lms such as
Titanic and Oceans 11. If you look at print
advertisements from over a decade ago,
she notes, you rarely see crumbs on a
plate next to a piece of pie. “It almost
looked fake.”
The trend toward crumbly, yummy
realism has made the stylist’s job more
complex. Not only do dishes have to
look natural and homemade, despite
careful planning, but it has to do so take
after take, touch after touch.
The food stylist learns rule No.
1 early: Always have enough. In a
climactic scene in Julie & Julia, Powell
cooks a deboned stuff ed duck in a
shell of pastry, an antiquated recipe
that challenged even Spungen, whose
cooking resume includes her own book
and 12 years as the food director for
Martha Stewart.
Spungen and the fi lm’s other food
prepper, Colin Flynn, deboned more
than 60 ducks and wrapped a third
of them in elaborate pastry, cutting
the dough into shapes that perfectly
mimicked the illustration in Child’s
book. “It’s time-consuming deboning
all the ducks, and it’s extremely greasy
and messy work,” says Spungen. On the
Julie & Julia set, the duck was the diva.
CHARLIE CHAPLIN’S SHOE
The Gold Rush, 1925
Chaplin’s recipe gave a new
meaning to fi let of sole.
FRIED GREEN TOMATOES
Fried Green Tomatoes,1991
The heart of this story is in
the side dish.
After the arduous prep work, stylists
have to consider how the food will
look midmeal. For Big Night, a fi lm
sometimes called the Italian Babette’s
Feast, stylist Deborah DiSabatino had
to marshall plated entrees that were
half-fi nished. She also cooked between
400 and 500 meatballs and, with
input from the mother of the fi lm’s star
and cocreator, Tucci, created some 40
versions of the timpano, a dome-shaped
layered pasta dish excruciating to
unmold from its pan.
And then there’s the issue of how the
food behaves. When “action” is called,
melted cheese must stretch, Dover sole
must sizzle and, in the case of one of
the less appetizing scenes from Julie &
Julia, aspic must splatter to the fl oor.
Stylists comes equipped with some
tricks—Spungen melted cheese on top
of French onion soup with an electric
paint-remover—but true realism comes
from rushing dishes to the table before
they cool, harden or fall apart.
In situations where the food isn’t
real, it must still behave like it is—and it
still has to look good. For the animators
of Ratatouille, creating pictures of static
meals would have deadened the fi lm.
“Even though a dish has been cooked,
it’s s still s
very active on the surface,”
PEKING NG DUCK

Sometimes crispy poultry is all it
takes to bring a family together.
CHEWING GUM MEAL

It’s a meal that turns Violet violet.

production designer Harley Jessup
has said. “There are sauces that are
bubbling and running, and there is
steam coming off ; there are vegetables
settling into each other.”
Jessup’s team developed computer
models that allowed them to position
computerized food on plates and
then run a program to simulate how
everything from scallops to souffl és
would slide, jiggle or puff .
Once the food is acting properly, the
performers must act with it, whether
that means pretending to prepare it or
simply digging in. Spungen privately
tutored Adams in knife skills for
Julie & Julia, but where more skill is
required, such as in Ang Lee’s Eat Drink
Man Woman (the slicing and dicing is
virtuosic), the hands of master chefs
have been substituted for actors’.
But that’s not because of any
ambivalence on the part of the stars.
In most cases—or the ones the stylists
will talk about—actors are eager to get
up close and personal with the food.
In one scene from Julie & Julia, Child
practices dicing onions. A yard-high
pile of onion bits and pieces is great
for comic eff ect but emits eye-watering
odors. “We soaked the onions in water
overnight so they wouldn’t be quite so
potent,” says Spungen. “We didn’t want
Meryl to cry.”
MERYL STREEP (LEFT) AND FOOD STYLIST SUSAN SPUNGEN WORKING WITH AMY ADAMS ON THE SET OF JULIE & JULIA.
Little did Spungen know, Streep
wanted to feel the eff ects of her
vegetable partner. “Then she asked for
some real onions, because I guess she’s
a method actress, and she wanted the
tears,” says Spungen. “So we gave her a
few that had not been soaked.”
In one of Aikman-Smith’s projects,
2005’s The Family Stone, Sarah Jessica
Parker’s character accidentally douses
herself and some of her future in-laws
with an eggy breakfast casserole.
Tasty chocolate treats steal the
show in a few fi lms playing this
month. Can you spot them all?
“It was the real deal,” says Aikman-
Smith of the casserole batter, “and it
was heavy.” Luckily, the star didn’t
seem to mind the mess. “Sarah Jessica
Parker is a real, working actress, and
she’s very happy to just get on with
things.”
Those parts—seeing their work
spilled, dropped or mangled—aren’t
always easy for the stylists, though.
In Julie & Julia, Chris Messina tears
into a chocolate cake—literally, with
his hands. “It didn’t bother me in the
end,” says Spungen, “but when we were
shooting it, I wasn’t thrilled to see them
destroying the cake.”
When the ingredients come together
just right, good food excites audiences.
After all, it is perhaps the one visual
element we can each recognize, smell,
taste and crave. Harry Potter’s shepherd’s
pie, Yorkshire pudding, custard tart,
jam doughnuts, kippers, crumpets and
Cornish pasties are enough to raise
cholesterol by a cauldron, but they also
have the eff ect of making the wizarding
world seem familiar and cozy.
Comestible fi lms such as Big Night,
Babette’s Feast and Eat Drink Man Woman
have inspired ambitious viewers
recreate the menus. After Julie & Julia
opened, Spungen received a picture of a
friend’s 11-year-old grandson standing
by the stove. He had been so enchanted
by the movie’s delicious depictions
that he went home and replicated the
bouef bourguignon. Asked to name
the accolades she received for the fi lm,
Spungen lists this one fi rst. “It was so
cute,” she says.

Giamatti very well might have found the key to happiness for which he’s been searching. But complications arise when he is the unfortunate victim of
soul-traffi cking. Giamatti’s journey takes him all the way to Russia in hopes of retrieving his stolen soul from an ambitious but talentless soap-opera
actress. Balancing a tightrope between deadpan humor and pathos, and reality and fantasy, Cold Souls is a true soul-searching comedy.
