I took a break from the mortgage business yesterday afternoon and attended the new movie, Julie & Julia. The movie is a tale of two stories; Julie Powell's one year adventure of cooking each and every recipe from the classic book, written by Julia Child, then the story from Julia Child's memoirs of how she came to write the book!
Mastering the Are of French Cooking is a tremendous work which was first published in 1961. How Julie Powell managed to do what she did, plus write about it, is in itself an amazing accomplishment! Oh how I would love to be smart enough to come up with an idea such as Julie Powell's, then sit down and write a story which would become so welcomed into the public eye.
If you love to cook, as I do, and want to spend a couple of hours enjoying a break from everyday life, do go see the movie Julie & Julia. You won't be dissappointed!
Now, off to buy the two books...Julie & Julie and Mastering the Art of French Cooking!
