Helpful Score: 2

Who knows if Julie Powell really drops the f-bomb every other sentence, injects her political views into every possible subject, hates her job & customers, or loves Domino's jalepeno bacon pizza AND marrow sauce. What I know is that I thoroughly enjoyed her cooking (mis)adventures. Honestly, a day by day account of her what she cooked and how would have grown tiresome. Her anectodotes and style are what make her memoir and the recipes come alive. Whether or not you've got the ears to handle Julie's mouth or the stomach to handle Julia's recipes, who doesn't love the thrill of setting thier life on a new path and experimenting with a new recipe in the kitchen?
