Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously

干着一份令人厌烦的工作，住在纽约狭窄的公寓里，朱莉·鲍威尔经常在下班回家的路上不自觉地哭泣。一天晚上，她涂上眉毛油的眼睛注意到她从那个韩国杂货店买的几样东西正是茱莉亚·切尔兹传奇食谱《掌握法式烹饪艺术》上所述做帕芒蒂埃马铃薯汤的原料。本项目由此诞生。

朱莉花了一年的时间，一一依照书中524种食谱烹饪，这就是朱莉的故事，渐渐地，从蛋砂锅到牛排跳黄油，从“婊子饭”到做生猛龙虾，她感到这个疯狂的项目正在改变她的生活。她为之用心竭力的数以千计的调味料开始在她的生活中蔓延开来，她也因此开始找到了很多年不曾有过的生活乐趣。

Trapped in a boring job and living in a tiny apartment in New York, Julie Powell regularly finds herself weeping on the way home from work. Then one night, through her mascara-smudged eyes, Julie notices that the few items she's grabbed from the Korean grocery store are the very ingredients for Potage Parmentier, as described in Julia Childs' legendary cookbook, "Mastering the Art of French Cooking". And The Project is born. Julie begins to cook - every one of the 524 recipes in the book, in the space of just one year. This is Julie's story, as gradually, from oeufs en cocotte to bifstek saute au beurre, from 'Bitch Rice' to preparing live lobsters, she realises that this deranged project is changing her life. The richness of the thousands of sauces she slaves over is beginning to spread into her life, and she begins to find the joie de vivre that has been missing for too many years.
