The bestselling memoir that's "irresistible....A kind of Bridget Jones meets The French Chef" (Philadelphia Inquirer) that inspired Julie & Julia, the major motion picture directed by Nora Ephron, starring Amy Adams as Julie and Meryl Streep as Julia.

Nearing 30 and trapped in a dead-end secretarial job, Julie Powell reclaims her life by cooking every single recipe in Julia Child's legendary Mastering the Art of French Cooking in the span of one year. It's a hysterical, inconceivable redemptive journey -- life rediscovered through aspics, calves' brains and cré me brûlée.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Hilarious and ferociously articulate. Powell wrote candidly and vividly about her antic adventures with Child's recipes... But perhaps more importantly, she wrote about food in a rich and raucous context, about putting pot-au-feu on the table through plumbing crises and existential desperation; about both Buffy the Vampire Slayer fandom and the difficulties of finding marrow bones."
-Entertainment Weekly

"Bracingly original, JULIE & JULIA is clearly the work of a writer who has reclaimed her soul." -People

"Powell is not a domestic goddess; she's emphatically, unembarrassedly a domestic mortal. But she is also a genuinely gifted thinker and writer about food." -Time

"You don't have to like cooking or French food to enjoy the zippiness of Ms. Powell's prose or to admire the purpose of her project....And she really did change her life. Now she's a writer. A good one."
-The Wall Street Journal

I watched the movie first, and this is one of those rare occasions where I'm really glad I did it in that order. I knew going in what to expect, which was not a book about cooking, but a humorous navel-gazing book about finding a passion and sticking to it. I wish there had been more about Julia Child, but that's really my only complaint.
Sure, Julie does some things that are deplorable - most times, I felt awful for her husband, and sometimes, I really didn't like the author and would have loved to say a few things back to her, but overall, this book made me laugh more than it made me cringe, and even the cringes were worth it.

I love when authors read their own work. It's a bit like going to a live concert and you get to see if your favorite band really is good or if it's just a bunch of auto-tune magic. So to that analogy, Powell is worth the ticket price!

One thing I didn't enjoy was the music in the transitions between chapters. Sometimes the pause was so long and then all of a sudden there's this accordion playing. I found it distracting and it took me out of the story, honestly.

I did enjoy getting to hear about her experience cooking the food - it made me in turns hungry and repulsed at the idea of aspic or lobster. She has a certain sarcastic (and albeit foul-mouthed) humor that I'm drawn to and I snort laughed several times. Definitely recommend!

Very enjoyable! And might make you hungry!

I just today finished "reading" this today
about a young woman in NYC who, in an effort to ward off the approaching-30 ennui, decides to cook at home, every single recipe in Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" within one year. This was sooo much fun! Kind of "chick lit" (with a few unnecessary F-bombs thrown in) but if you love to cook or you wish you loved to cook add this to your list. (Hated to finish it..I kept re-winding so it didn't end too soon)

Great Fun!

What did you like best about Julie and Julia? What did you like least?

I liked the cooking, however the way Mrs Powell speaks and acts towards her husband is sad, she treats him many times as a disposable item, her language also is way over the top and unlike in the movie she does not come across as likeable as the amy adams version.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

it was fine, not a great way to end the book, because it was almost like having a fantastic meal with no desert

What three words best describe Julie Powell’s performance?

over the top

Did Julie and Julia inspire you to do anything?

treat My own husband better

not a yummy meal after all

I like to cook, so this was fun. The back story was interesting to see the triumph of an underdog.

I liked it
