We Love Julia Child!
Blog Entry: Monday 15 Mar 2010
Julie & Julia, by Nora Ephron, tells the true story of American author and blogger Julie Powell who aspired to cook all 524 of Julia Child’s recipes from her French cookbook in one year.
Julie’s life is contrasted with Julia’s life in the early years in her culinary career in 1950s Paris. The film highlights similarities in the challenges encountered by both women and their passion of food.
In Julia’s wise words: “Is there anything better than butter? Think it over, any time you taste something that’s delicious beyond imagining and you say ‘what’s in this?’ the answer is always going to be butter. The day there is a meteorite rushing toward Earth and we have thirty days to live, I am going to spend it eating butter. Here is my final word on the subject, you can never have too much butter.”
