Description: Pushing 30, living in a rundown apartment and working at a dead-end secretarial job, Julie Powell is, in a word, stuck. In her desperate search for an escape, she comes up instead with a deranged assignment - to take Julia Child's 1961 'Mastering the Art of French Cooking' and cook all 524 recipes - in a year!
