Feel free to remove\/add\/replace dishes so it makes sense for you and your guests. I\u2019ve included an <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/canva.link\/9hf9p8rnq1ja75u\">editable menu<\/a><\/span><\/strong> in this guide to make it your own!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Managing Your Time<\/strong>&#8211; These movie nights can take a lot of time to prepare, especially if you plan on doing everything yourself. If you are planning a culinary movie night with a group, I suggest doing a potluck style. Have each person contribute a dish or two, and it\u2019ll be very manageable. If you are planning on preparing everything yourself, here are some things I\u2019ve learned while doing these often:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Make A To-Do List<\/strong>&#8211; I can\u2019t stress this enough! It\u2019s very easy to forget simple things like opening a bottle of prosecco before you start the movie so you aren\u2019t fumbling with the seal before serving. I have done this so many times! Your to-do list should include absolutely everything you need to do leading up to pressing play.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Start Early<\/strong>&#8211; I learned this after a few very long days of trying to cook, prepare, and host all on the same day. Anything that can be done in advance should be done during the days leading up to the movie night. Some examples include pre-mixing cocktails, making desserts and other foods like soup that hold up well in the refrigerator, and pre-making any handmade decorations. Hosting is stressful enough without having to make a multi-course meal in one day, so get as much done as possible before.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No Pausing<\/strong>&#8211; The question I get asked the most is \u201cDo you pause the movie to bring out the next dish?\u201d. It\u2019s important to me that I don\u2019t disrupt the flow of the movie, so I do not pause. It\u2019s also important to me to enjoy the movie with my guests. Setting up everything I need before the movie helps me bring out each dish efficiently. The setup usually includes plating each dish and storing it in the refrigerator, so all I have to do is quickly microwave it before serving. I set out any garnish or decoration on my kitchen counter so it\u2019s easily accessible. I even pour the cocktails into their cups and store them in the refrigerator, so all I have to do is add ice and any finishing touches before serving. Always think about how you can do the bare minimum during the film. I always include the setup in my to-do list as well, so I don\u2019t forget about any aspect of the preparation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Optional<\/strong>&#8211; If your budget permits, I recommend ordering food that you may not be confident in cooking or food that may take a lot of time to cook. I do this occasionally, and it helps cut down the preparation time and supports local businesses. Win Win!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Decorations-<\/strong> Have fun and decorate your space and serving tray! Add elements from the theme of the movie, but make a budget and stick to it! I usually use things I already own because these movie nights are DIY, and I don\u2019t need to spend a fortune to make it fun. If I do buy decorations for the movie night, I try to find cheap or reusable things. If you are curious about some of the things I\u2019ve used during the movie nights, here is a link to my <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/shop\/theliterarytart?ref_=cm_sw_r_apann_aipsfshop_M6XH77EQPDB8J34W1MMZ&amp;language=en-US\">Amazon List<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. All these items are things I bought with my own money and enjoyed using.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Manage Stress-<\/strong> Culinary Movie Nights are fun and a great way to show your friends and family you love them. Sometimes, things you envision in your head will not come out perfectly. When this happens to me, it can be discouraging and stressful, but the people I do these for have NEVER expressed anything but appreciation. Go easy on yourself and remember that your guests are just happy to be there and to experience something you put so much thought and time into making.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Menu<\/summary>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">I have created a free, editable, and printable menu for all the dishes I served for this Culinary Movie Night! Feel free to change it to what will work for you and your guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/canva.link\/9hf9p8rnq1ja75u\">Click Here!<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/canva.link\/9hf9p8rnq1ja75u\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"482\" height=\"644\" src=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Menu.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1797\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Menu.png 482w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Menu-225x300.png 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 482px) 100vw, 482px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Cues<\/summary>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">These are the cues I used during the movie night so I knew when I had to get the next dish ready to serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Please note<\/strong>: Each cue describes a scene that happens a few minutes before I have to serve the dish. It does not describe the scene the dish is based on. Some people get confused with that, so I thought I should specify. Because the cues only give you a few minutes to prepare the dish, it&#8217;s <strong>very important<\/strong> to have everything cooked and set up before the film starts. Review the &#8220;<strong>Tips<\/strong>&#8221; section above for ways to make this seamless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">I often get asked why I don&#8217;t use time stamps to keep track of when to serve the next dish and the simple answer is, I don&#8217;t find those helpful. If I used timestamps, I would have to have a separate timer going or keep disrupting the movie to check the timestamp. It makes much more sense to have cues to indicate when the next scene is about to happen. This allows me to enjoy watching the film with my guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Below is the link to the cues I used.

LOL!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make the grilled cheese, I used sourdough sandwich bread and, of course, Jarlsberg cheese. Assemble your sandwich by slicing the cheese and placing it between the bread. Then heat equal amounts of butter and olive oil in your frying pan. When the butter has melted, place your sandwich on the pan. Flip shortly after so both sides of the bread can be coated with the butter and oil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cook on both sides until there is a nice brown crust on the bread. Then remove from the heat and place the sandwich on a baking dish. I made this sandwich right before making the steak, and I used the same pan for the steak. I wanted the steak and grilled cheese served fresh, so I made them as the last dishes before starting the film. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To keep them both fresh and hot, I heated my oven to 175 degrees F and stored them both in the oven on separate baking sheets. The temp is low enough that it&#8217;ll just keep the dishes warm and crispy on the outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sandwich has to be served right after the corn chowder, so make your way right back to the kitchen. Take the sandwich out of the oven, slice it in half, and plate it to serve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"978\" src=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot_20260501-125221-1024x978.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1790\" style=\"width:557px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot_20260501-125221-1024x978.png 1024w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot_20260501-125221-300x287.png 300w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot_20260501-125221-768x734.png 768w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot_20260501-125221.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>The Devil&#8217;s Eggs<\/summary>\n<p>Now, if we&#8217;re being movie accurate, Miranda actually eats scrambled eggs. But, for the sake of cuteness, I want to serve deviled eggs with little pepper horns on top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pepper I used, because they have the perfect shape, is Red Thai Chili Peppers. Beware of the spice, though! Thai spice is no joke! I suggest picking them off to eat the deviled eggs if you have never tried these peppers.

To do this, sprinkle a generous amount of salt onto both sides of your steak and let it sit out (on a wired baking rack or chopping board) for at least 30 minutes. What you&#8217;ll notice is that the salt will extract the moisture from the steak. After the 30 minutes, pat the steak dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture and salt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you&#8217;re ready to sear the steak. I did this after making the grilled cheese and I used the same pan. Melt butter in the pan, and when the pan is hot, place your steak in the pan. Cook both sides of the steak until you get a nice sear. Make sure to hold the fatty side of the steak to the pan as well so that part cooks too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the steak is seared nicely on both sides, place your steak onto a baking dish and store it in your oven with the grilled cheese. The oven should be preheated to 175 degrees F so the grilled cheese and steak stay warm until it&#8217;s time to serve. I recommend making the steak right before it&#8217;s time to start the movie, so it&#8217;s not in the oven for hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spendwithpennies.com\/how-to-make-mashed-potatoes\/\">Mashed Potato Recipe<\/a><\/span><\/strong>&#8211; I made these earlier and stored them in my refrigerator. Then, when I was completing last-minute prep details before starting the film, I plated the mashed potatoes, so I wouldn&#8217;t have to deal with that during the film. I also plated the chopped parsley and had the serving tray ready to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When it&#8217;s time to serve<\/strong>, I quickly reheated the plate of mashed potatoes in the microwave. Then, I took the steak out of the oven and placed it on the serving plate.
