WHY DID SHE FEEL THE NEED TO KNOCK REPUBLICANS AT EVERY TURN? A REAL SIGN OF LOW INTELLIGENCE. SPOILED BOOK COMPLETELY. SHE IS VERY OPINIONATED IN ALL HER THOUGHTS AND FILTHY TALK TO BOOT...THINKS SHE IS SOPHISTICATED...BAH.
BAD BOOK.
 Great book! September 2, 2006

Terrific book about New York City, marriage, family, careers (or lack thereof), blogging and, oh yes, a bit about cooking. There are a lot of negative reviews of the hardcover version from readers who thought it was a serious food memoir or even a cookbook. The paperback version has modified the title and it is packaged in a "chick lit" style. I'm not usually a fan of serious food books, or of chick lit, but I do live in NYC and am a JC fan. I loved this book and found it laugh out loud funny and am giving it to several friends and family. Very highly recommended.

After reading The Perfectionist, which I found rather one-dimensional and joyless, turning to Julie Powell's account of cooking through Mastering the Art of French Cooking was quite a treat. It was refreshing to find she does not take herself too seriously, and I found myself wishing I'd known about the blog while she was doing The Project (as she calls it). One can tell that reading the book is a different, less personal experience than the day-to-day account on the blog must have been.
In any case, although there isn't an overwhelming amount of technical detail about the dishes Powell prepared, it's interesting to follow her journey through one of the best-known cookbooks, seeing her development both as a cook and a human being. Definitely recommended -- a very enjoyable read.
