I recently went to see Julie and Julia. I am a foodie and have always been a big fan of Julia Child. Although I don't own Mastering the Art of French Cooking, I do have The Way to Cook and Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home (with Jacques Pepin). Meryl Streep captures Julia's personality and style very well. I was inspired to order a DVD from Julia's PBS series. I wondered how long it would take for Mastering the Art of French Cooking to rise to the top of the New York Times best seller list in its category. Only two weeks.
In a related note, my small garden has provided an abundance of tomatoes, green peppers, chives, and basil this year, probably due in most part to the frequent rains we have had. I have made tomato basil sauce, salsa, pesto sauce, and swiss steak sauce so far. It's wonderful how good dishes taste when prepared from fresh ingredients.
