Pretty much every story I tell from my childhood has some aspect of food. For me, the food that takes me back to my childhood is crêpes.

If I was to have a crêpe at this very moment I’d be transported back to that house playing on the floor with my first Transformers, learning to play pool, going fishing or playing down at the beach.

Last week I had the great fortune to see the movie The Hundred-Foot Journey and also have a cooking lesson at Le Cordon Bleu. It was fantastic and magical and amazing. the food we made was spectacular and the food that was made for us was even better. One of the themes of the movie is that Every Bite Takes You Home. Is there some food that brings back a memory for you? Allison teases me that every story I have revolves around food. I love food and I have food memories that take me back to experiences. I’ll be talking about just what food is the one that takes me back to one of my favorite memories ever in a post later this week when I talk about my experience with the movie and with the trip to Le Cordon Bleu.

The recipes below were all created by Food Network star Chef Bar Arneson who was inspired to create 6 absolutely delicious dishes after she saw the film. Click on the images to see the full size recipe.
