Synopsis
Julie Julia is the story of Julie Powell's attempt to revitalizeher marriage, restore her ambition, and save her soul by cooking all 524recipes in Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking, VolumeI, in a period of 365 days.The result is a masterful medley of BridgetJones' Diary meets Like Water for Chocolate, mixed with a healthy dose oforiginal wit, warmth, and inspiration that sets this memoir apart from mosttales of personal redemption.When we first meet Julie, she's a frustrated temp-to-perm secretary whoslaves away at a thankless job, only to return to an equally demoralizingapartment in the outer boroughs of Manhattan each evening. At the urging ofEric, her devoted and slightly geeky husband, she decides to start a blogthat will chronicle what she dubs the "Julie/Julia Project." What follows isa year of butter-drenched meals that will both necessitate the wearing of anunbearably uncomfortable girdle on the hottest night of the year, as well asthe realization that life is what you make of it and joy is not asimpossible a quest as it may seem, even when it's -10 degrees out and yourpipes are frozen.Powell is a natural when it comes to connecting with her readers, which isprobably why her blog generated so much buzz, both from readers and mediaalike. And while her self-deprecating sense of humor can sometimes dissolveinto whininess, she never really loses her edge, or her sense of purpose.Even on day 365, she's working her way through Mayonnaise Collee and endingthe evening "back exactly where we started--just Eric and me, three cats andBuffy...sitting on a couch in the outer boroughs, eating, with Juliachortling alongside us...."Inspired and encouraging, Julie and Julia is a unique opportunity tojoin one woman's attempt to change her life, and have a laugh, or ten, alongthe way. --Gisele Toueg, Julie Powell is 30 years old, living in a rundown apartment in Queens, and working at a soul-sucking secretarial job that's going nowhere. She needs something to break the monotony of her life. So, she invents a deranged assignment: She will take her mother's dog-eared copy of Julia Child's 1961 classic, "Mastering the Art of French Cooking," and will cook all 524 recipes . . . in the span of just one year.

  • Great book, fun read.

    Great book, fun read. Decided to read this book after seeing the movie. The book is different than the movie in some ways, but I am enjoying it nonetheless. As I read I keep seeing the characters from the movie, I wish I had read the book first, than watched the movie. So far an easy, light read. Possibly good for pool or beach side read!

  • Not what I expected

    I guess i was expecting my Julie Powell in the book to be more like Amy Adams Julie character. It was disappointing to see that Julie isn't like that. I know that movies tend to exaggerate on things to fit in a 2 hour span but it seems so far off. I have to honestly say that I prefer the movie over the book in this case which has never happened before. :(

  • A great story!

    I saw the movie "Julie and Julia" on tv and it made me want to read the book. I am enjoying the book very much as there are things in it that weren't in the movie.
