Title: Julie and Julia
Review: Julie Powell is in a rut; not enjoying her job anymore and feeling somewhat purposeless. On a trip back home to her parent's house, she finds a copy of Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking and comes up with a crazy idea. Over the course of one year, she is going to cook every recipe in the book and write a blog about it. This book is an extension of that blog and her experiences during the project.Julie is a humourous writer and does not glamourize her feelings, successes, and failures during the year of cooking. Some of the side stories about her friend's lives could have been shortened or left out, as I found myself losing interest in these parts. I would also have liked to read more about Julia Child as well, but overall, this is a fun read that really lets you get to know Julie....and way more about bone marrow and killing lobsters than you ever wanted to!
