I'm sure the Italians will see it the way I did, as entertainment.

It was totally incredible to me that a 20-something woman, with little experience, could cook 524 recipes perfectly each time from a tiny New York apartment.

You can't learn to cook from a recipe book, you need an understanding of Basic Cooking Methods to make any recipe work.

Only in Hollywood can someone learn to cook exactly like Julia Child on the first try, just by reading a book.

I have two blog posts about the movie, one where I try to make "Boeuf Bourguignon" exactly as it appears in Julia's book. It didn't work out well.
