Bonjour!
You know I am such a lazy person .... this is work that I like and still I am not doing this ... I don't know ... I should find some more time to meet with you ... I will try ...(Hahaha)
Oh I am thinking I am not even a small kid in this blog world because I saw Julie's blog and she started it in 2002 and I am so late ... though there is saying "better late than never". I will give you link of her blog but first some background story ...
Yesterday (Friday eve) I saw movie Julie and Julia (Dir: Nora Ephron) and it's like my 2 favorite things combining together Movie + Cooking ... oh I just can't resist the combination. So I just went and really it was a good movie. Those who want to see something grand, big action movie or highly emotional drama: don't see it. But if you have liked Nora Ephron's previous movies like Sleepless in Seattle or You've got mail then you will like this movie.
This is not a kind of grand movie but Nora connects two stories Julie's story and her 365 day's project and at the same time Julia's story when she was in Paris and how she got her publisher. It's like she wants to connect these two ladies on some points and she has been successful in that. Nora creates two different worlds 1940's France and 2002's NYC easily and joins them with some fine and some cliched connectors (No offence it's my opinion - yah it's my blog)
Ok so without disclosing anything else I will leave you people to see the movie as that's my preference that prefer to watch a movie that you do not know anything about.
Yup - now as I promised earlier here is the link of her blog: http://blogs.salon.com/0001399/2002/08/25.html and you know what is more delightful is to read the comments. Though those comments are new (after release of movie) but really you will come to know about Julia Child and how she was idol once for all those who loved French cooking in US. But still I will guide you that you watch movie first and then go through blog - comments and if you find read books also.
One thing I am not sure about is why people are fascinated with French culinary cooking (I have never tried a French dish) but still I saw lately many series in Japanese and they were inspired by French cooking and then Ratatouille - one of my favorite, is also made with French cooking and not to forget Paris. I would like to search more about it ...
Oh and I liked soundtrack too ... so I am adding widget from Sony - I hope at least some of you will like it ...
Till then - bon appétit !!!
