The Julie/Julia Project straddles a few boundaries, food writing, humour, personal development. Pushing thirty, living in a rundown apartment in Queens and working at a dead–end secretarial job, Julie Powell is, in a word, stuck. In her desperate search for an escape, she comes up instead with The Project – a deranged assignment, to take her mothers dog–eared copy of Julia Childs 1961 classic Mastering the Art of French Cooking and cook all 524 recipes. In the span of one year.

365 days, 524 recipes, one tiny apartment kitchen. How one girl risked her marriage, her job and her sanity to master the Art of Living. This funny, wise and quirky story straddles a few boundaries, food writing, humour, personal development. With the humour of Bridget Jones and the vitality of Augusten Burroughs, Julie Powell recounts how she conquered every recipe in Julia Childs Mastering the Art of French Cooking and saved her soul.
