Julie & Julia


Last night I sat down to my second helping of the truly delightful and calorie rich film, Julie & Julia, starring Merryl Streep and Amy Adams. Even though this was my second time around watching this film, I enjoyed it all over again. It is, quite simply, superb on all levels.

Contrasting the lives of our two main characters, the film depicts events in the life of chef Julia Child in the early years in her culinary career with those of Julie Powell, who aspires to cook all 524 recipes from Julia Child's cookbook during a single year, which she illustrated in her blog, The Julie/Julia Project.
