DISH<br />
Julie & Julia and other delicious blockbusters put<br />
food—and those who style it—in the spotlight.<br />
BY PATRICK HUGUENIN<br />
come into focus—and this year it looked<br />
especially luscious.<br />
In cuisine-centric Julie & Julia, Amy<br />
Adams portrays Julie Powell, a New<br />
York City food blogger who cooks her<br />
way through Julia Child’s recipes. Child<br />
is played by Meryl Streep, and in the<br />
spaces between fl ashbacks to Child’s<br />
culinary training in France and scenes<br />
of Powell’s present-day experiment,<br />
feisty lobsters, gooey chocolate ganache<br />

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

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