00:06 Known for her sense of humour, comedian Katherine Ryan is spilling the beans on what famous
00:10 films and TV shows have inspired her in the kitchen.
00:13 A new Hub by Recipe Box retailer, Gusto, has created the UK's first food-inspired film
00:17 database.
00:18 In it lists the top 50 iconic food scenes from film and TV shows, from Game of Thrones
00:23 themed dishes to the Big Kahuna burgers from Pulp Fiction.
00:26 But what are some of Katherine's favourites?
00:29 I just did a study that actually 30% of Brits do get inspired by what they see on screen.
00:34 They want to make it right away.
00:35 And I feel like it's all the wonderful things at once.
00:39 We are very busy.
00:40 Everyone's got schedules, busy lives.
00:43 But for me, it's when you're at home to just really unwind.
00:47 I feel like it's almost meditation for me to have a film or like even 30 minutes of
00:51 a TV show with my husband and a bowl of something nice.
00:55 And I just think you take a lot of inspiration from film and TV.
00:59 It might be fashion or it might just be like, oh, do you know, Erin Brockovich could stand
01:04 up against this big company.
01:05 So can I. Or it just might be a beautiful Thai curry that you see and you go, I want
01:10 that too.
01:11 It's like, you know, we take when you're feeling happy and you're feeling relaxed.
01:17 For me anyway, you just want to eat.
01:19 According to Psychology Today, watching people eat can give a sense of community that perhaps
01:24 someone eating alone would otherwise miss out on.
01:27 Furthermore, it's thought that eating with our eyes per se is linked to visual hunger
01:31 and how looking at beautiful images of food increases the human desire for it, as well
01:36 as the satiation of hunger.
01:38 And I always feel that way.
01:39 If I see someone eating nachos on telly, then that's what I want to make at home.
01:43 My daughter watches The Office.
01:45 I think a lot of young people are re-watching The American Office and Kevin does this big
01:49 chili.
01:50 She always wants chili when she watches it.
01:53 As immersive food and film experiences are on the rise, is it dishes in Bridgerton you
01:57 gaze upon fondly or is it Joey's meatball sub from Friends that has made you think,
02:01 I just have to try it?
02:03 Because I was re-watching Coraline last week.
02:05 I haven't seen it, but there's a scene.
02:08 The cake.
02:09 Yes, the banquet.
02:10 And she has this mango milkshake.
02:13 I love Bridgerton and a lot like you, I really, really get inspired by the banquets.
02:20 So they always have really rich, luscious, high aspirational looking food there.
02:26 And it makes me want to get my dress on and have some champagne and have a beautiful duck
02:32 dinner.
02:33 So Lady and the Tramp, you watch that and you think of the iconic spaghetti bolognese
02:38 and you want to make that at home.
02:40 But the weather's getting colder and I also love a really warming cottage pie or chicken
02:46 and leek and cream and potato.
02:48 I should invent, I think, a Irish heritage potato infused Thai dish.
02:55 You could have like a warm, lovely Thai chicken curry without the rice, put in some mash.
03:00 That's the Katherine Ryan signature dish.
03:02 I'm going to make some calls.
