Hot on the heels of THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA and MAMMA MIA!, Meryl Streep continues to show her lighter side with a delightfully daffy turn as Julia Child, an American in Paris whose seminal cookbook ‘Mastering the Art of French Cooking’ brought French cuisine to the American housewife in the early ‘60s.
In a parallel true story taking place 40 years later, Julie (Adams), a frustrated secretary, embarks on an insane mission to cook all 524 recipes from the book in just 365 days in her tiny New York kitchen.
Her blog chronicling her experiences becomes a foodie sensation and provides writer-director Nora Ephron (SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE) with a rich seam of culinary experiences to draw on.
