| | | 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.
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."
| Praise| "Julie Powell is an admirable writer, candid, racy, fast-paced and immediate..." 02/26/2006 "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." 06/13/2005 "A gratifying year spent tackling the art of French cooking." 06/15/2005 |
