Julie & Julia

A movie I like about cooking is Julie & Julia featuring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams. The main characters names are Julie Powell and Julia Child. The story is really two stories overlapping. The story is about Julie Powell following Julia Child's cookbook which is in Queens New York. My favorite part in this story was when I saw my family friend Eric Sheffer Stevens at the dinner party. He played Tim the sister of Julie. On the other side of the world Julia Child was living in London and going to a French cooking class where she is the first women in. A part which I liked was when it is in Julia's first class and she is just starting, their class needs to chop up onions and she is just racing the men because you can just see her face go competitively. She is not faster than one man. Later you see her chopping up onions and crying. When her husband comes home from work he asks while wiping his eyes," What are you doing dear?" Julia says,"You should have seen the class, they were looking at me like I was crazy!" Julia & Julia is a great movie for the whole family to enjoy!!!
