Food and blogs come together in Julie & Julia, with Meryl Streep & Amy Adams. Absolutely loved this movie. Wonderful story about a blogger that takes on the challenge of cooking every recipe in Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. A parallel story about how the book came to be, and this young woman's big project of cooking all of Julia's recipes and blogging about it for a year.

After seeing this movie, I am motivated to go and get the book. No worries, I will not undertake a similar project to cook every recipe on Mastering the Art of French Cooking, and then blog about it. That would be a monumental project in my house. And I have my own private chef (hubby). But I am determined to cook more, and Boeuf Bourguignon a la Julia would be nice...

On another note, At Mirabelle Tavern at the Three Village Inn in Stony Brook, Chef Guy Reuge in honor of the film release, will be having a special promotion "Guy Cooks Julia" now through Labor Day, Monday, September 7. I am not missing this one!

Such a sweet movie.  Meryl Streep absolutely got Julia Child spot on!  I told my husband that it was one of the only movies I can remember where everyone was still together and loved each other.  What a concept!

Hi Lourdes - I saw Julie and Julia the first weekend it was out.  It was an excellent movie with two great actresses Meryl Streep and Amy Adams starring in it.

Hi Marc, Merryl Streep was Julia in the movie! And Amy Adams brought a genuine fresh appeal to her role as Julie Powell.

Hi Lourdes - My husband and I saw the movie last weekend.  It was really touching and I wasn't expecting that.  As a result of watching that movie, I started an Active Rain group, Bon Appetit.  If you'd like to read my first post and join the group, just go to http://activerain.com/groups/bonappetit .

I, too, enjoyed the movie immensely.  I can't wait to be able to buy my own copy.
