Title: Julie & Julia - Sex, blog and beef bourguignon - Julie Powell - book
Summary :
A young New Yorker, soon to be thirty, tired of working a string of uninteresting jobs, decides to take charge of her life. Grabbing her mother's old cookbook, The Art of French Cooking by Julia Child, she invents a crazy project: to make all 524 recipes in the book... in one year! In her tiny kitchen!
With devastating humor and a touch of madness, she tells us about her peregrinations as a cook, her midlife crisis, her invasive mother, her nymphomaniac best friend... From triumphant successes to pure disasters, from crying fits to alcoholic dinners, she continues her road paved with lumps of butter. And one day realizes that her life has changed.

After having been interim secretary for a long time, Julie Powell became famous in 2004 thanks to the dazzling success of her blog. For a year, she regularly chronicled her culinary and personal odyssey. A year later, American publishers were fighting over the rights to her book. A bestseller in the United States, the book will soon be adapted into a film. Julie Powell still lives in New York City, where she shares a loft with her husband, a dog, three cats, and a snake.
