Julie and Julia

If you're into blogging, you'll enjoy this movie. And if you're into cooking, you'll like it even more!

Julie & Julia is the story of two women who have nothing in common, except a passion for cooking.

Julie is a young woman drifting in a dead-end job and wondering how she could make her life more worth-while. She loves cooking. And she decides to write a food blog, giving herself the challenge to cook every recipe from Julia Child's book "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" within the space of a year, and to blog about every single dish.

Julia is the Julia Child, an American in Paris, who loves life, loves France and loves cooking. She is bigger than life in every way - she is tall, she is loud, and she is passionate about food.

The two stories are nicely intertwined. It's kind-of two movies in one, and if it wasn't for Meryl Streep's immense talent, I'm not sure it would have worked so well. But it's a lovely story and I really enjoyed it.

If you're into food blogs, don't miss the featured blog section, with plenty of links to yummy sites.

And for those really really passionate about cooking, Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" is still available on Amazon! A pity she uses so much butter!
