It’s a fine enough memoir. It covers the important parts of the year Julie Powell spent cooking from [b:Mastering the Art of French Cooking Vol. 1|129650|Mastering the Art of French Cooking (Vol. 1)|Julia Child|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1333577773s/129650.jpg|2897158], and it delves deep into int...
A fun book, but not one for the tender stomached. Julie Powell is a writer who likes to shove disgusting things at the reader, like a toddler with a keyboard. And I don't mean preparing lobsters.
One of my favorite books. Based on true story book portrays not only cooking but also relationships. Touching, moving and inspirational - in the cookery sense ;) I was always hungry while reading it! Yummy!

This book had so much potential. Julie Powell’s first memoir, Julie and Julia, was a book that I absolutely adored. The movie version was even fairly well done. When I heard that she’d written a second book, I was thrilled! When I saw the fairly epic subtitle (A story of marriage, meat, and obsessio...
Although I liked Julie and Julia, I just disliked this book from the beginning and cut my losses early and returned it to the library without getting far.
