Julie and Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen by Julie Powell
Julie and Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen

Kathy Harrington, January 9, 2009

It's rare for me to read a book that actually transports me, but Julie Powell managed to bring me right down into her little outer-borough kitchen with this vibrant, funny, engaging tale of her self-imposed year-long journey through MtAoFC. Her culinary pilgrimage with reader in tow is anything but dull: it carries us through cursing, crying kitchen dramas (mirroring some of my own experiences) to self-satisfied successes to laugh-out-loud food failures to near-tears disappointment. This is a must-read for anyone who loves to cook and a justificatory read for anyone who hates being in the kitchen! Thoroughly enjoyable, I loved every minute of it.
