Review

"Her writing is feisty and unrestrained....[H]er voice is endearing....Both home cooks and devotees of Bridget Jones-style dishing will be caught up in Powell's funny, sharp-tongued but generous writing."

"Julie Powell is an admirable writer, candid, racy, fast-paced and immediate..."

"A gratifying year spent tackling the art of French cooking."

Publisher's note

The author recounts how she escaped the doldrums of an unpromising career by cooking every recipe in Julia Child's 1961 classic, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, a year-long endeavor that transformed her life. Movie Tie-In. Simultaneous.

Annotation

Julie Powell set herself the daunting task of preparing all 500+ recipes in her mother's tattered copy of Julia Child's classic MASTERING THE ART OF FRENCH COOKING--and to describe her experiences in a blog called "The Julie/Julia Project." Now that blog is a book chronicling Powell's sometimes wacky, sometimes harrowing, ultimately satisfying excursion into fine French cooking, from sweetbreads and kidneys to Gateau à l'Orange and Clafouti. Powell never met Julia Child, but when Julia died in the course of the project, Powell grieved deeply, saying, "She left a great six-foot-two hole in my world."

Powell 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 cook all 524 recipes in the span of just one year.
