Who's cookin' now?

About a week and a half ago I went to see the Movie julie and julia at the late night show....  what a cute movie

 and what a cute lady that lady julie child was, she was so eclectic, funny and frisky. 

I am sorry to say that I never have watched one of her cooking shows when it was on the air .  She was the prelude to the Martha Stewart and  to all the cooking shows we have on T.V. today.

 

i can't even say i have read one of her cookbooks but the movie has steered me in the right direction because look out kitchen here i come.....speaking of kitchens check out  Julia's Kitchen at the Smithsonian you even get to hear her voice....that's cool.

so the next day with cooking on my brain i went to this place  and strait to the cookbook section, well I did stop at the decorating book section.  But my Barnes and Nobles were sold out of her books, they didn't have her famous book the art of french cooking {i think i'll have to go see if the library has it} but I picked up this baby....and I'm so glad that had it because I went earlier in the week to Borders  and they did not have it.

 

is that cover not scrumptious!!  Ya!!  i love the book jacket and the cute apron stencil that comes inside it AND if that isn't good enough mine came with a FREE year's subscription to Country Living Magazine!!! yahoo!! if you would like one too you can also order it here,  i better get going....i mean cookin' i have lots recipes to choose from...........or maybe one of the cute projects inside....

Bon Appetit!!

What a nice post. Although I never admited it I used to like to watch Julia Childs when I was a kid. She seemed like a very interesting lady.

I just did a nostalgic California post. :-)

I enjoyed the movie too! Like you...I never really watched her shows except when she was on the Today Show or read any of her books. I too have seen the light and I'm no longer afraid to admit that I LOVE BUTTER!
