Since I don’t get out much to go see movies, actually we don’t get to go out really at all to the movies since we had kids, I read a lot. I usually end of loving the book over the movie version anyway, so I don’t mind. Well the book “Julie & Julia” by Julie Powell was outstanding, but I am bias since I haven’t seen the movie yet.
“Julie & Julia” is a book based on Julie Powell’s attempt to cook all 524 recipes in Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Volume I, in only 365 days! Now Julie is a secretary who is looking to further her career and spice up her marriage and what better way than to try something new and outrageous. Well Julie decides to start a blog called the “Julie/Julia Project” and she posts about her life and how Julia Child’s is helping her.
Now I honestly don’t know much about Julia Childs, other than she was a chef, and it was interesting to read about her through the book and see how a cookbook can change lives. I laughed, cried, and was mesmerized by what Julie goes through and does to get through the giant cookbook in a year. I think it was a great idea and definitely a great story for all. It is not a cookbook either, which I was surprised I didn’t find recipes throughout, but it is a light read that keeps you reading! It is also not a total Chick Lit book!
