There’s an old joke about Los Angeles that says the only way you know the holidays are approaching is when the Starbucks cups turn from white to red.
But we in show business (and in other wellness-centric communities around the world) now have another tradition — the Goop holiday gift guide.
For almost 15 years, Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle empire has been curating an annual list of the best presents for your lover, mother, child, house manager, assistant and spiritual healer. The guide quickly became famous for some of its more luxurious and rarified treats — like a $38,000 mattress, an $8,300 private Yurt and a custom leather bag exclusively for carrying watermelon (price upon request).
True to form, Paltrow and Team Goop have embraced the notoriety and made the splashy gifts an entire category: “Ridiculous-but-awesome.

There’s food porn, which shows like Chef’s Table and Top Chef, not to mention last year’s horror hit movie The Menu, have turned into widely popular entertainment. And then there’s art house food porn, a subgenre that possibly dates back to Marco Ferreri’s 1973 satire La Grande Bouffe, and whose other examples include Babette’s Feast, The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover, Tampopo, Chocolat and Like Water for Chocolate. The latter films tend to be made in a language other than English, and they’re less about chefs competing for Michelin stars, or glowing reviews from Pete Wells, than about food as a way of life.
Where else but France, then, as the setting for the latest, and certainly one of the most appetizing, art house food porn flicks to come along in a while? Tràn Anh Hùng’s The Pot-au-Feu (La Passion du Dodin-Bouffant) is...
