Julie & Julia is the story of Julie Powell (Amy Adams) who is frustrated with her soul-killing job in a call center and decides that she needs something fulfilling and embarks on a daring project: prepare all 524 recipes in Julia Childs’ landmark cookbook, “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” and report about it on her blog, the Julie/Julia Project. Intertwined with Julie’s story is the true tale of how Julia Child (Meryl Streep) herself conquered French cuisine with passion, fearlessness and plenty of butter.
