"eat pray love" news and stories

Actor, comedienne, and activist Marlo Thomas's online series "Mondays with Marlo", right here on Aol, brings special guests (such as Dr. Dale Atkins and Dr. Oz) together with viewers every week for a fantastic half-hour of frank, fun, and informative talk on subjects from sexual health to advice on nutrition, diet, and cooking meals you (and your family) will love. The best part of this live show is, viewers get to ask the experts their own questions, which makes it personal, provocative... and spontaneous!

On Monday, February 28, at 12:30 p.m. ET, Marlo chats with best-selling author Elizabeth Gilbert.

Elizabeth is best known for her hugely popular memoir, Eat, Pray, Love. You can win a copy of her follow-up book, Committed, which is being released in paperback this month. Got a food-related question you'd like answered? Visit Elizabeth and Marlo during the show on Monday to ask it LIVE! Mention that you're a Slashfood reader and you'll be entered to win a copy of Committed, as well as Marlo Thomas's very personal memoir Growing Up Laughing. You can submit your question in advance, and Joy will answer as many of your questions as she can during the webcast. Or visit MarloThomas.com starting later that day to watch the full-length video of the 30-minute chat.

Filming food can be a challenge, but when it's done right, the audience can practically taste the succulent dishes being served on screen.

Saveur has put together a list of 21 great recipes from films that make your mouth water, the Huffington Post reported.

And from Julia Child's classic boeuf à la bourguignonne in "Julia and Julia" to the bounty served in "Eat, Drink, Man, Woman," food can steal the scene in some films.

With the recent release of Eat Pray Love, women (and men) across America are taking back their kitchens and cooking up a storm.
