Latest Book - a cooking lesson

I just finished reading Julie & Julia by Julie Powell. I loved the movie with Meryl Streep as Julia Child. I found this book hilarious and entertaining as I followed Julie's blog entries while she weaves French cooking through her job as a secretary, her marriage, and friends in Queens, NY. The doldrums of the monotonous life of a thirty-year old are enriched by her culinary pleasures as she attempts to Master the Art of French Cooking, and she emerges out of the kitchen as a vibrant, intelligent, and sophisticatd woman who shares her passion for Julia's French cuisine with the reader. I enjoyed the movie as well.
