Last night I watched Julie & Julia, starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adam, and I must must say it 's a brilliant comedic drama!! I'm so into it until I spent several hours googling and reading about Julia Child and Julie Powell all morning he he.
I totally recommend it to everyone especially ones into baking and cooking like myself. he he
I never attempt to make any movie review before since I knew I'm suck at writing one.
Huh.
So, here goes my short review of Julie & Julia.
"In 2002, Julie Powell blogged about her challenge of finishing 524 Julia Child's recipes in 365 days and in 40 years before that, there's a story about how Julia Child ended up writing her masterpiece-Mastering the Art of French Cooking. "
Fin.
Yes, it sucks! LOL
I just love how Nora Ephron wrote this story in two different timelines and how it connected to each other.
And the looked-delicious dishes!!
Ouch..oh please don't start with the all the fine cuisines Julie Powell has cooked and baked.. All of it looked yummy especially the last meal, the one where she has to bone the duck..
Finally, she covered the duck with pastry and it look very delicious.. I shall try this once I'm in Paris ha ha
BTW, I didn't get the name of the dish. Shall update it here later.
I love Julia Child's kitchen too..

Where We Cook. Oh I just love this site!!
Maybe, I should start saving up so I could have my dream practical kitchen with French Country deco and a complete cookware & bakeware in it.
Dreaming.
Special note to myself: Please get a copy of Julie & Julia asap.
Here's Julia Child in
action.
