Summary:
Thirty-year-old Julie Powell lives in a rundown apartment in Queens and works at a soul-sucking secretarial job that's going nowhere. Desperately needing something to free her from the monotony, she invents a deranged assignment: Using her mother's dog-eared copy of Julia Child's 1961 classic Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Julia will cook all of the cookbook's 524 recipes within the span of one year.
