Julie and Julia
Ratings2
Average rating2.5
Julie Powell is a bored, 30-year-old secretary living in a rundown apartment in Queens. 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 she will cook all 524 recipes, in the span of one year. But she comes to realize there's more to Mastering the Art of French Cooking than meets the eye.

This book came recommended to me by my aunt, who loved it. I heard about this book about two years ago, before the movie buzz, but never got around to reading it. I've read many food and cooking memoirs (most recently, Giulia Melucci's I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti). While I found Julie and Julia to be an entertaining read, I did not particularly love it.
