A Gastronomic Delight


It sure was satisfying watching 'Julie and Julia'. Well acted, well paced and well crafted. Never a dull moment and such witty dialogue.


Set in an intervening time period when Julia Childs was in her 40s and the 30th Birthday of Julie Powell, this movie, traces Julia Childs entry into French cooking and the beginning of a blog where Julie challenges herself to complete all the recipes in Julia's book, "Masterpiece of French Cooking" within 365 days.


The story ended well for both protagonists as they got the books printed.

This is one 'cool cat' of a movie. If the field had not be overcrowded at the oscars this year , Stanley Tucci could have won his Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

As usual, Meryl Streep was in her element!
