Julie and Julia

Well last night I finally watched the film Julie & Julia as recommended by a friend some time ago and reminded of by two friends recently when I talked about setting up my own blog. For those of you who haven't seen it its an American comedy-drama about events in the life of chef Julia Child, and Julie Powell, who aspires to cook all 524 recipes from Child's cookbook "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" during a single year "blogging" about her experience.

I wasn't sure I'd enjoy the film, despite recommendation, but actually it's definitely worth a watch. I feel slightly in awe at the enormity of the task that Julie took on, I don't believe that I could manage 524 French recipes in a year, but that was her assignment this is mine!!

Tomorrow I am heading off in search of some venison for a pie and starting my quest to discover the ultimate brownie recipe......
