Title: Julie & Julia my year of cooking dangerously
Author : Julie Powell
This is a terrific read, inspired by one of the cooking pioneers of the USA, Julia Child. She lived in Paris and learned the art of preparing food for the enjoyment of all, food as a celebration and as a festive get together of all Americans.
She wrote a cook book, still in circulation today, iconic really, to educate her country women and men about the creation of dishes, with available ingredients, that they would all enjoy.
Julie Powell, the author, follows in her steps to Paris and for a whole year experiences the most adventurous, hilarious, inconceivable redemptive journey - life rediscovered through aspics, calves' brains and crème brulee- in her "year of cooking dangerously".
