Sofía Vergara, Jon Favreau, and Emjay Anthony in "Chef"

If you’ve been feeling a little bit uninspired to cook lately and want to watch something that’ll light a fire in your belly (or under your stove), these three movies should definitely get you excited about cooking again. So fire up your TV and get your spatula ready.

Chocolat

A romantic drama about a mysterious woman who opens an unusual chocolate shop in a quiet French town in 1959, Chocolat is a must-watch for dessert lovers. In the movie, Vianne can pick the perfect confection for her customers, and this movie is definitely a treat.

Jiro Dreams of Sushi

This documentary about a master sushi chef in Japan training his son to take over for him beautifully showcases the art of sushi-making. You won’t be able to walk away from this one without craving sushi, so you might as well pair it with a sushi-making night.

Chef

With an all-star cast, sexy shots of sinfully delicious food and a fun plot about a disgraced chef who quits the overly intense restaurant business in Los Angeles, Chef is pretty much guaranteed to make you start dreaming about opening a food truck of your own.
