Elizabeth David: A Life in Recipes (2006)

Catherine McCormack takes on the title role in the British biopic Elizabeth David: A Life in Recipes (2006). Beginning in 1950, the real-life Elizabeth David published the first of her eight cookbooks, which have gone on to sell more than two million copies. While Elizabeth’s public image was of a smiling, upright homemaker, the movie exposes us to a deeply complex individual who was passionate about more than just food—she also loved the fellas. Catherine is absolutely sizzling in a stellar performance, making this Life one worth lusting for.
