“Pressure Cooker” 31May09

Another film about cooking? This one is a documentary about high school kids in Philly trying to get a scholarship to college… culinary college that is. And a teacher that’s incredibly intimidating (see trailer below!) but somehow through her unconventional teaching methods, inspires these kids to go for their goal. It’s out in the US in some places, but I have no idea how long it will take for it to come out here in Sydney!

Julie & Julie – I can’t wait! 12May09

A movie about food, about cooking, about blogging … WOOHOO! I can’t wait! I’m sure it’ll be at least a year before I can see it in Australia but perhaps my next trip home will fall around the same time it’s in theaters. In the meantime, I think I’ll be cooking something French real soon. Yay!

Oh and coincidentally I came across this quote:
“I was 32 when I started cooking; up until then, I just ate.” – Julia Child

Ground Support

My local favorite is currently Ground Support in SOHO. I go there almost every day for a smooth creamy soy cappuccino or if it’s hot out an iced soy latte. When I’m not in a hurry to run out, I try to take a few extra minutes to enjoy the coffee in the shop… you know, chat with the staff, catch up on some calls and best of all… people watch. Always some interesting characters in NYC!
