If you’re a “foodie” you’ve probably noticed the art of cooking is about to get a big boost by the new movie that comes out today, Julie & Julia. It’s based on a book by the same name that chronicles the yearlong adventure of a 30-year-old woman, Julie Powell, who decides to cook every recipe in Julia Child’s “Mastering the Art of French Cooking.” She chronicles her adventures in her blog.
The minute I saw the movie trailer, I felt an instant connection. A woman teaching herself to cook and blogging about it? That’s me! I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I did read the book and there was a lot I could relate to, both in and out of the kitchen.
For a review of the movie, a look at Julia Child’s story and my column about my take on the book, be sure to check out Sunday’s Eagle-Tribune.
