Passion. Ambition. Butter. Do you have what it takes?

Julie Powell is a young New Yorker who works a routine job and looks for something creative to break her out of the monotony. She sets herself an unusual challenge: to cook all 524 recipes in Julia Child's cookbook within a year. While the movie follows her first steps in the kitchen, it also looks at the early years of Julia Child's culinary career, which begins in another era and another country. Directed by Nora Ephron, the film brings together Amy Adams as Julie and Meryl Streep as Julia. The two stories move in parallel, and the opening tone blends comedy with nostalgia for a way of life that no longer exists.
