Book Review of Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously

Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 3


Julie is direct, funny, open, and seemingly very honest about her life. I admire that kind of honesty. The "Project" - cooking all of the receipes in Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Volume One" is crazy. It also seemed to be just the right thing for Julie Powell to do. It was fun to read, and inspiring in the "hope you find the right thing for you too" kind of ending that it had. The food sounded awful. I'm impressed she found the ingredients, and that her husband, Eric, was willing to eat the results. It's nice she and Eric found each other.
It was fun to read and made me laugh out loud at times.
