If I haven’t already done a good enough of job of proving why Julie & Julia is more about life than cooking, read a few of my favorite quotes from the book:
“Julia taught me what it takes to find your way in the world…I thought it was all about…confidence or will or luck. But there’s something else, something that these things grow out of. It’s joy.” (Powell, 305)
“I didn’t understand for a long time, but what attracted me to MtAoFC was the deeply buried aroma of hope and discovery of fulfillment in it. I thought I was using the Book to learn to cook French food, but really I was learning to sniff out the secret doors of possibility.” (Powell, 305-306).
