I am a huge movie buff. Yup, I am one of those who you can be sure to spot in a theater whenever a good movie comes up. Because movies are so huge in India, I guess I just grew up being a movie buff, I didn’t have much choice! One of the recent releases which has my interest and all my heart is “Burnt”
Let me get to the point. This movie is about a chef, so that means there’s food and then it stars Bradley Cooper! So now you know why it has all my interest! And if this wasn’t enough, Castello has also developed some amazing recipes for this movie featuring their delicious cheese! Please visit Castello page to read all these amazing recipes.
Burnt is a funny and emotional story about the love of food, the love between two people, and the power of second chances. It’s about Chef Adam Jones (played by Bradley Cooper) who had it all, and lost it! To land his own kitchen and that elusive third Michelin star, he’ll need the best of the best by his side, including the beautiful Helene (Sienna Miller). Sounds interesting, isn’t it?
I would have loved to see this movie in the theater because it sounds just like the kind of cinema I enjoy but I have been under the weather lately and so I decided to enjoy the movie from the comforts of my home. And no movie night is complete without some delicious food! To make our movie experience even more delicious, I made this cheesy jalapeno dip using Castello Havarti Jalapeño, which is made with mild red and green jalapeños for a gentle hint of spice that develops more character as it matures. Why I chose this cheese for the dip is because 1. it’s so delicious, (duh!) and 2. it has a soft and creamy consistency and so easy to melt!
All you have to do to make this dip is mix everything together and then put in the oven till it’s all heated up. And then you arrange your movie night plate by placing the dip in between and crackers, carrots, celery and what else you want to dip all around it! So easy and so yum! You guys will love this dip, it’s so delicious and I didn’t have to do much to make that happen. The Havarti Jalapeño Cheese is so delicious on its own that all I had to do was mix it with everything and heat it. The wonderful flavors of the cheese did the rest!
