Julie & Julia is the story of Julie Powell's attempt to revitalize her marriage, restore her ambition, and save her soul by cooking all 524 recipes in Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Volume I, in a period of 365 days. The result is a masterful medley of Bridget Jones' Diary meets Like Water for Chocolate, mixed with a healthy dose of original wit, warmth, and inspiration that sets this memoir apart from most tales of personal redemption.
When we first meet Julie, she's a frustrated temp-to-perm secretary who slaves away at a thankless job, only to return to an equally demoralizing apartment in the outer boroughs of Manhattan each evening. At the urging of Eric, her devoted and slightly geeky husband, she decides to start a blog that will chronicle what she dubs the "Julie/Julia Project." What follows is a year of butter-drenched meals that will both necessitate the wearing of an unbearably uncomfortable girdle on the hottest night of the year, as well as the realization that life is what you make of it and joy is not as impossible a quest as it may seem, even when it's -10 degrees out and your pipes are frozen.
Powell is a natural when it comes to connecting with her readers, which is probably why her blog generated so much buzz, both from readers and media alike. And while her self-deprecating sense of humor can sometimes dissolve into whininess, she never really loses her edge, or her sense of purpose. Even on day 365, she's working her way through Mayonnaise Collee and ending the evening "back exactly where we started--just Eric and me, three cats and Buffy...sitting on a couch in the outer boroughs, eating, with Julia chortling alongside us...."
Inspired and encouraging, Julie and Julia is a unique opportunity to join one woman's attempt to change her life, and have a laugh, or ten, along the way. --Gisele Toueg
Customer Reviews:
UNE FEMME SPIRITUELLE, UN ECRIVAIN AUTHENTIQUE
Après le merveilleux film de Nora Ephron, nous avions foncé sur ce livre, reçu très rapidement d'Amazon.Fr, à bas prix.
La critique du film par TIME magazine était méchante: Ephron n'a pas présenté un personnage antipathique, au contraire, ne serait-ce que pour des raisons commerciales.
Dans sa narration, Powell ne se montre pas à son avantage. Les problèmes avec son mari sont réels, ce qui ne la favorise pas pour les porteurs de lunettes roses. Sa vie dans Queens est pénible mais elle ne se plaint pas et n'en tire pas des mots d'esprit.
Sa passion pour la cuisine emporte tout dans le livre. Pourtant, c'est elle qui domine ce livre, sans calcul.
Son esprit est irrésistible, chose qu'on trouve habituellement chez les Anglaises et elle écrit magnifiquement, avec l' efficacité de la simplicité.
Quand on voit son blog, dans le film, on se dit: comme elle écrit bien! A la fin, elle réalise son rêve de devenir écrivain.
C'est aussi un rêve pour nous de voir un tel talent.
Quand le féminisme semble se casser la figure, Powell peut servir de référence au combat des femmes.
Rappelons que le livre est très amusant, vertu principale.
Fun read 
While skeptical, I put off reading this book for a year or two, but am so glad I read it. It is fun and interesting, hilarious and insightful, current but historical as it intersperses current events with historical excerpts of Julia Child's life. Anyone who had been intimidated by a difficult French recipe will enjoy the trials and tribulations of Julie as she cooks her way through Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Bon appetite!
