年屆三十的紐約打工女茱莉,日復一日過著無目標的生活、無聊的工作、沒有孩子的婚姻。唯一可喜的是──她愛吃。在讀到傳奇名廚茱莉亞的《掌握法國廚藝》後,決定用一年的時間,每天按照該書做菜,並把烹飪成果連同她的城市愛情生活公布在部落格上。漸漸地,吸引了讀者,從此她的生活有了巨大的轉變。

美國名廚茱莉亞‧柴爾德,生於美國加州,二戰後與外交官夫婿住過巴黎,中年才開始在藍帶學院學習烹飪,廚藝之路際遇多舛,後來與友人合著《掌握法國廚藝》。1963年起在美國電視節目教烹飪而聞名全國,並獲得許多獎項,影響大眾甚廣──她「對生活的樂觀和熱情感染了數百萬美國觀眾,並教會他們享受烹飪的樂趣」。

茱莉困在苦悶工作中,困在紐約角落的小公寓,困在乏味的婚姻裡,偶爾還發現自己在下班回家途中莫名落淚。某晚,透過睫毛膏糊掉的淚眼,她留意到自己在買菜時,隨手抓的幾樣食材竟是茱莉亞‧柴爾德那本《掌握法國廚藝》所列出的第一道菜「韭蔥馬鈴薯湯」的材料。做這道菜過程中,她體會到茱莉亞‧柴爾德當年學做菜時心理上的微妙變化。伴著腦中浮現一幕幕茱莉亞‧柴爾德的生活,她繼續從法式蛋盅到牛油煎牛排,從「潑婦飯」到殺活龍蝦,一道道做下來,食物的豐富滋味一點一滴滲透到她每天的生活中,她發現這忙亂的烹飪計畫正在改變自己……

這兩個不同世代的女人,藉由美食有了奇妙的聯繫,一本食譜書串起了兩段不同時空的女人面對生活轉折的故事。看美食如何改變了她們的人生!

Julie & Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously is the story of the hilarious culinary blogging project aspiring writer Julie Powell embarks on in order to kick-start her writing career and give her life focus – the results, however, are not quite what she had first envisioned . . .

Living in a tiny apartment in New York and trapped in a job she hates, Julie Powell sees life passing her by. Then one night, she notices that the few items she’s grabbed from the Korean grocery store are the few items she’s grabbed for Potage Parmentier, as described in Julia Child’s legendary cookbook,Mastering the Art of French Cooking. And The Project is born.

Julie begins to cool – every one of the 524 recipes in the book, in the space of just one year. Soon The Project is all she can think about. While the richness of the food she slaves over spreads into the rest of her life. . .

‘Sassy, quirky and disarmingly honest…Powell draws high-calorie comedy from her exploits’ Marie Claire

‘A gem of a book…both hilarious and touching’ Glamour

Julie Powell started to entertain readers on her infamous blog, on which she pledged to cook all the recipes from Julia Child’s iconic cookbook Mastering the Art of French Cooking. The blog achieved a dedicated following and, as a result of this, it evolved into Julie & Julia – a novel which connects Julie’s blog to a reworking of Julia Child’s biography. Julie & Julia was adapted for film by Nora Ephron in 2009 and starred Meryl Streep and Amy Adams. Cleaving, the sequel to Julie & Julia, is also available from Penguin.
