“The Grand Budapest Hotel” broke box-office records in its opening weekend, and now you can recreate a key part of the film in your own oven.
Writer-director Wes Anderson has released a new short film to go along with his latest feature that teaches you how to cook the popular courtesan au chocolat from Mendl's, a bakery featured prominently in the film. Ralph Fiennes’ character had a particular weakness for this elaborate desert.
