Hayao Miyazaki and his animation team creates a bunch of good animations. It's not just about nature views; they also showcase realistic food that you can actually make in real life. The animators craft these simple foods with stories and memories tied to the characters.

Take a look at the kinds of foods that Ghibli fans love the most and the most famous ones.

Bacon and Eggs (Howl's Moving Castle)

The most iconic moment will totally be the bacon and eggs cooked by Howl. Kasifar's eggshell eating style is a classic in Ghibli scenes. To whip up a tasty feast like this, no special tricks are needed. Just cook with passion and slather on that extra thick bacon!
 

Bento (My Neighbor Totoro)

Cream Stew (Secret World of Arrietty)
