Like Water for Chocolate
Ratatouille
God of Cookery (Shaolin Master cooks)
Tampopo
Big Night
Babette's Feast
Delicatessen
The Cook the Thief His Wife & Her Lover
Waitress (invents a new Pie daily, starts her own shop... I love pie)
Who's Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?
Duplicate (Bollywood film where the Chef has a double who just happens to be a Mobster)
Eat Drink Man Woman
(& Tortilla Soup*)
Mostly Martha aka Bella Martha
(& No Reservations*)

*These are the American versions of the original film.

There's the Korean movie, "Le Grand Chef" from 2007

The same story also as a Korean tv drama, "Gourmet", that's much more detailed, with a different cast from 2008. There are quite a few more TV series about chefs as you will find if you do a search on it.

Just finished watching this one! It's amazing.

[HLing]

Pepper Mil, I'm assuming you meant you watched the TV drama version?
I'm just on the 9th episode and hope that the series never ends! Been trying to get the image of that huge bowl of Ja Jiang Mian all stirred up and slurped , and the tasting of 10 different cuts of beef, raw, out of my head.....

[pepper_mil]

No, I watched the movie. I will be on the lookout for the TV drama version, but without knowing the Chinese name it may be tough to find...

[HLing]

Here's a link to the TV drama

In Chinese it's 食客.

Have fun!

Although she was not a cook but rather a candy maker, the most delightful movie I can think of is "Chocolat"

[susan1353]

Moonstruck, with Nicolas Cage as a one-armed baker in love with Cher.
