Based on two true stories, "Julie & Julia" intertwines the lives of two women who, though separated 
by time and space, are both at loose ends until they discover that with the right combination of passion, 
fearlessness and butter, anything is possible.

Julia Child and Julie Powell - both of whom wrote memoirs - find their lives intertwined. Though separated 
by time and space, both women are at loose ends... until they discover that with the right combination of 
passion, fearlessness and butter, anything is possible.

In 1949, Julia Child is in Paris, the wife of a diplomat, wondering how to spend her days. She tries hat 
making, bridge, and then cooking lessons at Cordon Bleu. There she discovers her passion. In 2002, 
Julie Powell, about to turn 30 and underemployed with an unpublished novel, decides to cook her way through 
"Mastering the Art of French Cooking" in a year and to blog about it. We go back and forth between these 
stories of two women learning to cook and finding success. Sympathetic, loving husbands support them both, 
and friendships, too, add zest.
