On Saturday Julia and I checked out Julie & Julia from the Provo Library. Julia's a big fan of Julia Child (the Julia in the title) and of good food. She recommended the movie.
The movie has two parallel storylines. The first is the life of chef Julia Child. She and her husband live in Paris in the 50s, when Julia begins learning to cook. She attends a French cooking class, teaches a cooking class, and, finally, she publishes a cookbook, which is apparently very well-known in the cooking world.
The second story is Julia Powell's. She lives in New York with her husband in the early 2000s. She is frustrated with her job and life in general. Cooking is her release when she comes home from work. So she decides to do a blog to give her life more purpose. Her goal is to do all 524 recipes in Julia Child's famous cookbook in only 365 days.
The movie cuts back and forth between the two stories showing the parallels. It's a good mix of drama, romance, and comedy. I enjoyed watching it. There's an f-word later in the movie, but there isn't too much objectionable material. It inspired me to want to do something cool! And to learn how to cook.
