Note to self: Don't read Time Travel Kitchen when hungry--I am now fully suffering...

Seriously, this looks/sounds amazing!

I watched that movie recently too. It was beautiful. The food that you made also looked amazing and delicious. I love your blog.

Thanks so much for mentioning Dinner and a Movie, Jolene! I have had a flurry of lovely people signing up over the weekend and I'm so excited to get the ball rolling on Sunday 2nd April. Did you enjoy the Oscars? It was on TV from 1am this morning here in the UK so alas, I was in the land of nod. Two friends were there as seat fillers so if I had been watching I'd have been just as excited by the audience shots as by the actual ceremony. Jxx

I saw the movie years ago, so many that all I remember is the quiet of it, the beautiful scenery, and the food. I need to watch it again or, better yet, read the story itself. Thanks for the trip back to this film and a chance to reconsider it now that I understand so much more about life and about cooking (although nowhere near enough).

This! I've had "watch babette's feast" AND "make baba au rhum" in my list for too long, but I should definitely tick them off asap. The baba looks 👌👌👌, I want to try Mimi Thorisson's recipe, have you tried it by any chance?

A fabulous food adventure, yet again! Thank you, Jolene! 🧁

I remember Babette’s Feast. I was a teenager when it came out but I remember seeing it in the early 90s and I remember my mum seeing it at the movies. I love your recreation 💕 and I must see the film again.

Alcohol may have been a factor in this recipe! I’ve been sober for some time now (trust me: the world truly is better off) so I’ll savor this cake vicariously through you all.

PS: Jenny’s newsletter is fabulous!

I’ve never seen Babette’s Feast ~ crazy, I know, especially because it sounds right up my alley. It must be available somewhere. Your babà looks perfection, Jolene.

I have fond memories of that movie but they’re quite faded, so now I definitely must watch it again! And that cake--ooh la la! Looks like my kind of project. Thanks for another great post!🤗
