Julie & Julia - Watching Julia Child.

Julia Child is the inspiration behind today's Google doodle in most of the world. Not just the doodle, Julia Child was also the inspiration behind award winning movie titled Julie and Julia.

Julia Child was not just a top class chef, but also an author and a television personality who demystified French cooking for the Americans. Her popular book titled Mastering the Art of French Cooking published in 1961 culminated into a television series called The French Chef.

Julia's death in 2004, inspired director Nora Ephron to bring back the extraordinary woman's journey on the big screen in the form of Meryl Streep in a 2009 film titled Julie and Julia. The story revolved around a bored diplomat's wife who enrols herself in Le Cordon Bleu cookery school during post-war Paris.

The film's second timeline set in the present follows the life of Julie Powell portrayed by Amy Adams. Adams, a young writer with a rather mundane job at a call centre in lower Manhattan, also possesses a deep desire for cooking. To rekindle her passion, she decides to take on the challenge of cooking all the 524 recipes from Julia Child's, Mastering the Art of French Cooking. She also decides to blog about challenge on a daily basis suggested by her husband Eric (Chris Messina).
Julia's husband played by Stanley Tucci, completely supports her all the way. She meet.
