For some reason this book took me a long time to read, but I really enjoyed it! So much so that I gave it to Lody and Mom for Christmas. Julie Powell is a receptionist working in New York who decides to cook every one of Julia Child's recipes in Mastering the Art of French Cooking in one year's time.
I, personally, hate cooking and the idea of cooking every day-- especially from a cookbook---ESPECIALLY from a French cookbook makes me queasy and sort of makes me want to cry, but her style of writing is witty and sharp. Also, it's a true story and the fact that her fame was born from her choice to blog about her "Project" makes it that much cooler. In fact, it was a blogspot.com blog, just like this one, that housed her journey through MtAoFC. See here to read it!
