On my flight to hk, I finally had the chance to watch this movie. Learning pastry at Le Cordon Bleu, I always saw Julia Child’s books on the shelves but never fully understood her story. Meryl Streep did an amazing job in my opinion portraying Julia’s jolly light-hearted but tenacious (tenacity’s my recent new fave word) character. In the movie, Julie (Amy Adams) idolized Julia and decided to set a goal of completing all 524 recipes in her book within 365 days. She started blogging about it and attracted so many followers she finally published a book herself.
So realistically, I cant be baking a cake every day cos that will just be an utter waste of food; there’s only so much butter and sugar that my family can consume. But I shall do a three-course dessert supper for my friends some time in 2014. Maybe more than once, depending on how the first one goes. And it shall be restaurant-style plated and as délicieux as as it looks! Oh, and it’s invitation only 🙂
