Julie Powell
The bestselling memoir that's "irresistible....A kind of Bridget Jones meets The French Chef" (Philadelphia Inquirer) that inspired Julie & Julia, the major motion picture directed by Nora Ephron, starring Amy Adams as Julie and Meryl Streep as Julia. Nearing 30 and trapped in a dead-end secretarial job, Julie Powell reclaims her life by cooking every single recipe in Julia Child's legendary Mastering the Art of French Cooking in the span of one year. It's a hysterical, inconceivable redemptive journey -- life rediscovered through aspics, calves' brains and cré me brûlée.

"Much better than the movie"

"I enjoyed the movie a lot & went into this book thinking it was going to expound on the cooking. Clearly it did not, granted it's great that she spoke about her life at the time but it just wasn't what I wanted to read. I gave it my usual 1/3 way into the book before I gave up. Maybe one day I'll go back & finish, as for the time being, can't stand it."
