Julie and Julia
Cooking can sometimes be a hassle. After a long day, you just want something quick and easy to prepare, but cooking can be much more than that. In my mind, cooking is a way to listen and tell stories. Each and every recipe that has ever been created has a story behind it, and every time it is recreated, a new chapter is added.
In the case of Julie and Julia, the first set of stories wascreated by Julia Child as she cooked her way through culinary school and wrote her cook book. Each dish she cooked told a little part of her struggles as a female in the male-dominated world of professional chefs. The next chapters to the recipes were added by Julie as she cooks her way through Julia’s cookbook. They once again show struggle, but instead of struggling to get a position, Julie is struggling to figure out what she truly wants to do with her life. Another difference is the fact that each new chapter is shared with the entire world almost instantaneously through her blog.
