Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously
Julie Powell
The bestselling memoir that's "irresistible....A kind of Bridget Jones meets The French Chef" ( Philadelphia Inquirer ) that inspired Julie & Julia , the major motion picture directed by Nora Ephron, starring Amy Adams as Julie and Meryl Streep as Julia. Nearing 30 and trapped in a dead-end secretarial job, Julie Powell reclaims her life by cooking every single recipe in Julia Child's legendary Mastering the Art of French Cooking in the span of one year. It's a hysterical, inconceivable redemptive journey -- life rediscovered through aspics, calves' brains and cré me brûlée.

0After reading this book I came to two conclusions: Julia Child was awesome and I seriously dislike Julie Powell. Another blogger with a good gimmick, Powell comes across as a brat to me through the entire book. And then I find out that her second book is about having an affair and cheating on her husband as she learned to be a butcher. So, yeah, no.
