The Meal: This is a tough film to watch on an empty stomach (though if romantic noodling makes you sick, it's probably best if you don't eat first).

But the story of Catherine Zeta-Jones' driven saucepan-wrangler has plenty to make you peckish, most notably the delicious-looking seared scallops in saffron sauce.

Naturally, her life changes when she becomes her niece's (Abigail Breslin) guardian and heats things up with cookery assistant Aaron Eckhart.

How To Recreate It: It's a fairly long and involved recipe, so give yourself plenty of time.
