Julie and Julia By-Sarah Naqvi

Julie and Julia's Adventure by Sarah Naqvi



Julie Powell decided to create a blog about how she makes recipes by the famous chef, Julia Child. She attempts to make all the recipes in Julia Child’s Master the Art of French Cooking, Making 524 recipes in 365 days, Julie Powell published a book using her blog. I think Julie was very inspired by Julia Child which shows in the blog she created. Readers can see her become a better cook in the process and also become inspired.

It was very interesting how Julie Powell commits herself to this project. She takes her passion for cooking to a new level. Her personality is shown more in her blog than the movie because she expresses her thoughts and feelings in her words. The blog is very informal and real. It captures the details of Julia Child’s recipes. In the movie, the scene that stood out the most to me was when she attempts to cook crabs and how she overcomes cooking them. The actors playing Julie and Julia’s character were very good in the movie. Julie Powell and Julia Child were shown as very inspiring chefs.
