Publisher: Julie Powell, National Bestseller

Genre: Memoir

Where I got It: My mom recomended the book to me.

One Sentence Summary: In an amazing way of telling the story, Julie Powell talks about her experience while learning how to cook, and how one person inspired her threw her writing of books--Julia Child. 

First Sentence: As far as I know, the only evidence supporting the theory that Julia Child first made Potage Parmentier during a bad bout of ennui is her own recipie for it.

First Chapter Review:  In this chapter--The Road to Hell is Paved with Leeks and Potatoes--started with Julie talking about one of Julia Childs's french potatoe soup and how, the way she wrote the recipie, was like poetry--inspiring.Which I thought that Julie said that her writing was like poetry because Julia inspired her to cook by her writings. Then she started talking about her life, job, you actually begin to know her. She introduces you to her boyfriend Eric, and how he sometimes doesn't appreciate what she cooks as much as pizza. 

Verdict: I really liked this book. It was not only interesting, but funny. You will laugh of the adventours she had while learning to cook. Julie taught me that to be great in something, you have to persists--that's the only thing that will make you great. I really recommend it to everyone who likes to cook.

Cover Comments: The cover of the book is yellow and has like a part of a kitchen drawn. It has a pot and a lobster on the cover like over a table. What is in the pot is kind of burning since it has smoke all around it and going outside of the cap which made me think--before reading the book--that she was not good at cooking. 

The cover was very creative, and It actually reflects what the story is about.
