The movie I've been waiting for all summer has finally opened, and I cannot wait to see it. 'Julie and Julia' is based on two books that came out at the same time, 'My Life in France' by Julia Child, and 'Julie and Julia,' based on the blog by Julie Powell, in which she documented her year of cooking every dish in Mastering the Art of French Cooking. I read and loved the books and the blog.
Both of these stories are about so much more than food; they are about women finding out what they can do when they follow their passions. Julia Child wound up changing the way America eats and thinks about food, and was the first television food celebrity. Julie Powell blogged her way into a career in writing, which was her goal. 'Don't be afraid' Julia says to us, across the years, and we know she is right.
Of course, our Mauviel (French copper cookware) rep did not miss the opportunity to send us this link to a picture of Meryl Streep as Julia, with LOTS of Mauviel cookware in use in the background.
Enjoy.
Nice name, Julie & Julia, Maybe they are twins..
