Julie & Julia: my year of cooking dangerously

Who is Julia Child? Julia is an American who moved to Paris because of her husband’s job. In 1948, she enrolled in a cookery course, trained under the best chefs and wrote a successful cookbook. 50 years later, Julie Powell chooses her as her inspiration.

In her 30s, Julie Powell decides to do something special in addition to her office job. She sets herself the goal of trying out 524 recipes from Julia Child’s cookbook Mastering the Art of French Cooking over the course of a year. She started writing her cooking experiences on her blog and, like her role model Julia, she has found great success after many setbacks. (VL)
