Julia Childs is one of those larger than life figures from my childhood. We watched her cook fabulous and mouth-watering delicacies and imagined what it would be like to make them ourselves. Once I had my own kitchen, I bought Baking With Julia and attempted to learn how to bake. Unlike Julie Powell, I didn’t bake my way through the book. I did, however, increase my baking confidence to the point where I actually made croissants – more than once. I’m still amazed at how much butter you can work into dough.

So after watching the movie and once again being inspired by Julia, I think I may need to find a copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking. I will not, however, be killing a lobster, making aspics, or deboning a duck.
