Trapped in an unfulfilling job and living in a tiny apartment in New York, Julie Powell often  finds herself crying on the subway ride home from work. Then one night, Powell decides to cook all 524 recipes in Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking over the course of a year and the "Julie /Julia  project" is born. To keep Powell on track, she decides to honestly blog her project, with all its failures and successes. Gradually she gains an online following as she tackles the delicate art of French cooking and takes her readers on a culinary journey, all while working as a secretary and dealing with the day to day matters of life. 

 

We discover that a delicious crepe makes a bad day better and surviving a runny soufflé means one can endure anything. Powell’s lively reading - and excellent French, bring drama to the scenes and pleasure to the listener.
