Julie & Julia

In August, Meryl Streep and Amy Adams will star in Julie & Julia, which promises to be a treasure trove of foodie travel ideas.

This movie is the result of croissant-like layers of adaptation.
Julie & Julia started as a blog called The Julie/Julia Project, chronicling the efforts of just-your-average-gal Julie Powell's attempt to cook every single recipe in Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. The blog was a hit, so Powell adapted the blog into a book, Julie & Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen. Then, screenwriter Nora Ephron adapted Powell's book and Julia Child's autobiography,My Life in France, into the movie Julie & Julia, to be released early this August.

You won't believe how much Meryl Streep sounds and acts like Julia Child! It's uncanny!
