Julie And Julia by Julie Powell (2005, Hardcover)

Synopsis
Julie Powell set herself the daunting task of preparing all 500+ recipes in her mother's tattered copy of Julia Child's classic MASTERING THE ART OF FRENCH COOKING--and to describe her experiences in a blog called "The Julie/Julia Project." Now that blog is a book chronicling Powell's sometimes wacky, sometimes harrowing, ultimately satisfying excursion into fine French cooking, from sweetbreads and kidneys to Gateau à l'Orange and Clafouti. Powell never met Julia Child, but when Julia died in the course of the project, Powell grieved deeply, saying, "She left a great six-foot-two hole in my world."
