After the war she accompanied Paul to Paris where he was assigned with the American Embassy and started her culinary career, at the Cordon Bleu. Julia Child introduced cooks all over the United States to French cuisine when she wrote "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" with Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle in 1961 and followed it with her ground-breaking television program, "The French Chef" in 1961. She changed the way Americans thought about food and the way they cooked. Before Julia, French cooking was something few Americans considered available to them on a daily basis. She explained it and gave them the enthusiasm and courage to try it. 2003: Received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President George W. Bush.

    Reading Group Guides The online community for reading groups www.readinggroupguides.com Julie & Julia by Julie Powell Caution! It is likely that the following reading guide will reveal, or at least allude to, key plot details. Therefore, if you haven’t yet read this book, but are planning on doing so, you may wish to proceed with cau- tion to avoid spoiling your later enjoyment. About the Book On a visit to her childhood home in Texas, Julie Powell pulls her mother’s battered copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking off the bookshelf. And the book calls out to her. Pushing thirty, living in a run-down apartment in Queens, and working at a dead-end secretarial job, Julie Powell is stuck. Is she in danger of becoming just another version of the housewife-in-a-rut? Her only hope lies in a dramatic self-rescue mission. And so she invents a deranged assignment: in the space of one year, she will cook every recipe in the Julia Child classic, all 524 of them. No skips, no substitutions. She will track down every obscure ingredient, learn every arcane cooking technique, and cook her way through sixty pounds of butter. And if it doesn’t help her make sense of her life, at least she’ll eat really, really well. How hard could it be? But as Julie moves from the smooth sailing of Potage Parmentier into the culinary backwaters of aspics and calves’ brains, she realizes there’s more to Mastering the Art of French Cooking than meets the eye.

  • Reading Passage
    Select Readings, Second Edition Upper-Intermediate, Chapter 1 Test Read the passage and answer the questions that follow. Internet Fame In the past, aspiring celebrities had to work hard, develop their talents, and hope to build an audience or be discovered by a powerful agency. However, the Internet seems to have created a revolution in the fame game. Now, a kid with a video camera has access to an audience as large as the biggest Hollywood star. A mom with a blog and some interesting ideas can attract more readers than a best-selling author. And an opinionated entrepreneur can become a guru1 to millions. The Internet sees a new ‘star’ virtually every day. Someone creates a video that goes viral and generates millions of views. For some, this ‘microfame’ flashes and soon fades, but others are using these flashes to propel themselves into commercial success at an exponential rate. Whether it’s actual talent or just mass appeal, here are a few of the Internet’s most prominent individuals who have gone from ‘nobody’ to celebrity in a very short time, and their path to success. Justin Bieber Probably the most famous success story of anyone ‘discovered’ on the Internet, this Canadian Pop/R&B singer shot to fame when his debut single was released worldwide in 2009. While searching for videos of a different singer, a record executive accidentally clicked on a video Bieber had uploaded to the Internet in 2007. Impressed, the executive tracked down the young man. Soon after, Justin Bieber was signed to a recording contract, and the rest is history.

Nella nuova città è ammaliata dalla cucina francese e per combattere la noia inizia un corso professionale per diventare cuoca. La passione la travolgerà, tanto da scrivere un libro che, dopo le tortuose vicende per pubblicarlo, diventerà la Bibbia per qualsiasi americano che voglia imparare a cucinare. Tutt'oggi la Child è una leggenda negli Stati Uniti. Nel 2002, Julie Powell si è appena trasferita nel Queens, sopra una pizzeria.

Ha fortissimi toni femminili 'Julie & Julia'. Nora Ephron lo ha tratto dal libro autobiografico della Powell, facendone un film che segue in parallelo le esistenze di due personaggi che, benché siano separati da 50 anni, hanno moltissimi punti di contatto.

  • Adaptation and Self-Expression in Julie/Julia
    KATJA KANZLER Adaptation and Self-Expression in Julie/Julia Julie/Julia stands out in several ways. What had begun, in 2002/2003, as a highly popular blog, in which New Yorker Julie Powell tracks her experience of cooking all the recipes in Julia Child’s classic cookbook Mastering the Art of French Cookery, became one of the first notable, commercially successful “blooks”—a neologism that denotes blogs adapted into books. 1 As a visible sign of this achievement, The Ju- lie/Julia Project was awarded with the inaugural “Blooker Prize” in 2006.2 A few years later, Julie/Julia again pioneered in being the first blog (or blook, for that matter) to be adapted into a Hollywood movie, Nora Ephron’s Julie & Julia.3 In the following, I want to discuss Julie/Julia, and its adaptations from blog to book to film, as an instructive case study of life writing in the digital age.4 There are two things I want to trace in my discussion. First, I explore how these adaptations throw into relief the distinct conditions for life- narrative in the respective media and genres that host the story of Julie/Julia, with a focus on the dynamics of the story’s original formulation in the blog. I approach the Julie/Julia blog as a variation of the blog-genre variously termed “journal blog,” “personal ____________________________ 1 See Hayton for a discussion of this phenomenon. 2 See http://blog.blookerprize.com/ for the prize’s mission statement and for coverage of Powell’s reception of the award. 3 Sporadically, the term “flook”—“as in film based on a blook” (http://blog.blookerprize.com/)—has come up in this context.
