Julie and Julia My Year of Cooking Dangerously

Julie & Julia, the bestselling memoir that's "irresistible....A kind of <i>Bridget Jones</i> meets <i>The French Chef</i>" (<i>Philadelphia Inquirer</i>), is now a major motion picture. Julie Powell, nearing thirty and trapped in a dead-end secretarial job, resolves to reclaim her life by cooking in the span of a single year, every one of the 524 recipes in Julia Child's legendary <i>Mastering the Art of French Cooking</i>. Her unexpected reward: not just a newfound respect for calves' livers and aspic, but a new life-lived with gusto. The film is written and directed by Nora Ephron and stars Amy Adams as Julie and Meryl Streep as Julia.
