Disney movies have an enchanting way of captivating our hearts and imaginations through magical settings and unforgettable storylines. But it’s not just the storytelling that makes Disney movies so special; it’s the little details, like the delightful and unique foods that the characters enjoy throughout their adventures. If you’ve ever found yourself wishing you could indulge in the same whimsical treats as your favorite Disney characters, now you can! Read on for some fun and easy-to-make recipes that will bring a touch of magic to your kitchen.
Remy’s Ratatouille
Ratatouille is a French dish made with stewed vegetables such as tomatoes, eggplant, and zucchini. While it didn’t originate with Ratatouille, the film did help to popularize the dish by presenting it in a new way. This version is easy to whip up in an Instant Pot and pays tribute to the haute cuisine plating that Remy uses to impress food critic Anton Ego.
The Grey Stuff
Nothing captures the essence of fine dining and gourmet food quite like “Be Our Guest” from Beauty and the Beast. At one point during the song, Lumière encourages Belle to “Try the grey stuff, it’s delicious!” But what exactly is the grey stuff? According to Disney, it’s a mixture of vanilla pudding and crushed Oreos. The dish is available for guests to enjoy at the Red Rose Tavern in Disneyland, but for those who’d like to try it at home, this recipe by Lil’ Luna is just as delicious. Don’t believe us? Ask the dishes!
Aurora’s Cake
While we may not all have three good fairies to help us, we can still celebrate birthdays and other special occasions by preparing our own sweet and scrumptious cakes. This recipe is based on the cake that Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather bake for Princess Aurora in Sleeping Beauty. It maintains all of the whimsy of the cake from the film, except this version is vegan, gluten-free, and, most importantly, baked.
