Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Julie Powell thrust herself from obscurity (and an uninspiring temp job) to cyber-celebrityhood when, in 2002, she embarked on an ambitious yearlong cooking (and blogging) expedition through all 524 recipes in Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. She detailed the experience in her critically acclaimed 2005 New York Times bestselling memoir, Julie & Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously, which was adapted into a major motion picture starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams in August 2009. Julie has made appearances on national television shows from ABC's "Good Morning America" and CBS's "The Early Show" to "The Martha Stewart Show" and Food Network's "Iron Chef America," and her writing has appeared in numerous magazines and newspapers including Bon Appétit, Food and Wine, Harper's Bazaar, New York Times, Washington Post, and more. She is a two-time James Beard Award winner, has been awarded an honorary degree from Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, and was the first ever winner of the Overall Lulu Blooker Prize for Books.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyed it greatly

    I really enjoyed this and LOVED the movie..

    i suppose the premise a tad silly but then again have gone on my own rather excessive(passionate) exertions. i think this is one of those you either love it or leave it. i loved it..
    basic premise is out of more boredom than otherwise Julie decides to Make everything in Julia Child's book (All 524 recipes in 365 days In spite of living in a postage stamp apartment & a miniscule kitchen (that alone should have told her she was crazy :) )
    all the while Blogging the whole ?adventure?
    its an interesting point of view from a minimulist cook to recreating Ms Childs French masterpieces and all the things that go along with them (Like learning how to dispatch lobsters)

    It included very different information, as expected, than the movie. The movie which I thoroughly enjoyed was the r-rated version of the book. Any who loved the movie would enjoy the "real version" book!

    1.0 out of 5 stars Vulgar and very few details on cooking.
    Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2018
    Cooking through Mastering the Art of French Cooking? It sounds like the author will have a lot to share on cooking techniques she has learned or how to tell great strawberries from mediocre or where the best place in NYC is to buy bone marrow. She does not. What she does have to say are a lot of incredibly vulgar remarks about sex. Honestly, sex is talked about more than food in this book. Chocolate is brought up once or twice ("it was sweet and good"), and Julie's lack of a sex life with her husband Eric is talked about far more. So is Julie's friend's sexting with a coworker. This book is mainly just complaints and curse words about work, sex, and occasionally French food. If you are a fan of Julia Child or Mastering the Art of French Cooking, it probably is because you enjoy things that are classy and pleasant. This book is neither.

    3.0 out of 5 stars So-so writing, but an interesting project
    Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2011
    Julie and Julia is not the book version of the blog Julie Powell kept as she cooked her way (in a year) through Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Powell's book doesn't even address the blog so much; it's more "behind the scenes." Despite this, though, it reads much like a casual blog does. Powell wanders down tangents, eventually returning to the premise of the memoir, and readers will get to know a lot about her friends, their relationships, and her workplace.

    If you're looking for a fun story to read (never mind all the profanity,) Julie and Julia fits the bill. I wouldn't necessarily point to it as an example of fine writing, however. The unbelievable challenge she has undertaken proves to be enough of a driving force to compensate for the basics of story, plot, and character development. And a memoir really takes on those literary devices in a different manner anyhow.

    Powell spends quite a few pages describing various recipes, and on about 18 pages of this book that crests 300 pages she recreates what she imagines to be exchanges between Julia Child and Child's husband, Paul. These pages are almost out of place and detract from Powell's own story, and knowing off the bat (as she tells us) that she's used creative license to write these passages almost makes them unnecessary. The rest of the book, however, is enjoyable enough.

    Unfortunately it seems as though Powell hasn't been able to capitalize on the enormous gift she received. She wrote a second book called Cleaving: A Story of Marriage, Meat, and Obsession, which released in 2010. This second memoir details Powell's internship in an NYC butcher shop and also the infidelity in which she engaged, almost to the detriment of her marriage.

    I don't agree with Powell's choice of story nor of life, and it seems that many readers feel the same. Moreover, several reviews of the book call out the increasingly average prose of this second memoir, proving, I think, that Powell really isn't a writer of great talent. She just happened to chronicle a unique event the first time around and received her 30 minutes of fame because of it.

    As a writer who wishes for the kind of gift-wrapped opportunity Powell received, I feel sorry that she squandered it so easily. And I also feel curiously encouraged. If Julie Powell, sitting in her ratty Long Island City apartment and blogging about cooking her way through one of the most famous cookbooks of all time, can become a published author--maybe, just maybe, I have a shot too.

    I would recommend Julie and Julia the book for someone who doesn't mind a casual, meandering record of a year in someone's life and their pursuits. But for the essence of the book and a terrific film, definitely check out "Julie and Julia" on DVD instead.

    I enjoyed the movie and book. When I finished the book I decided to make Julia Child's beef bourginion,
    it turned out delicious! I commend Julie Powell for creating an ambitious project and completing it.
