Julie and Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen
of Julie Powell
Description
With the humor of Bridget Jones and the vitality of Augusten Burroughs, Julie Powell recounts how she conquered every recipe in Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking and saved her soul!Julie Powell is 30-years-old, living in a rundown apartment in Queens and working at a soul-sucking secretarial job thatâs going nowhere. She needs something to break the monotony of her life, and 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 she will cook all 524 recipes. In the span of one year. At first she thinks it will be easy. But as she moves from the simple Potage Parmentier (potato soup) into the more complicated realm of aspics and crĂ©pes, she realizes thereâs more to Mastering the Art of French Cooking than meets the eye. With Juliaâs stern warble always in her ear, Julie haunts the local butcher, buying kidneys and sweetbreads. She sends her husband on late-night runs for yet more butter and rarely serves dinner before midnight. She discovers how to mold the perfect Orange Bavarian, the trick to extracting marrow from bone, and the intense pleasure of eating liver. And somewhere along the line she realizes she has turned her kitchen into a miracle of creation and cuisine. She has eclipsed her lifeâs ordinariness through spectacular humor, hysteria, and perseverance.
