Cooking with Hollywood: Julie and Julia

Time to move on to another "foodie" movie. How about Julie and Julia? The best thing about this is that I will get to watch it again. I have yet to run into anyone who didn't like it or didn't think that Meryl Streep was incredible in her part as Julia Childs. It was a cuddly, fun, feel good sort of movie and the only one that I have ever sat through twice. It was interesting to me that Julie and Julia both did what they did for the same reason I wrote my book. They both followed a passion for learning about food because they needed "something more" in their lives. In all cases, the project became bigger than itself and morphed into a career.
