15. Craig Claibourne New York Times
Book Review of MtAoFC
• "Probably the most comprehensive, laudable,
and monumental work on [French cuisine]
was published this week, and it will probably
remain as the definitive work for
nonprofessionals . . . [It is] a masterpiece."
16. Interview with Julia Child Time Magazine 1966
• For from the moment that Julia appears on the screen, sleeves
rolled above the elbow and blue denim apron about her waist,
until her closing "Bon appetit," there is no telling what
calamity may confront her.
• Even her failures and faux pas are classic. When a potato
pancake falls on the worktable, she scoops it back into the
pan, bats her big blue eyes at the cameras, and advises:
"Remember, you're all alone in the kitchen and no one can see
you."
• Again, when the apple charlotte that she was making began
sagging, she patted it back together, reassured her viewers: "It
will taste even better this way." Her cardinal rule for
hostesses: "Never apologize.“
• Julia also insists that women should know their steers. In her
zeal to demonstrate the various cuts, she has no hesitation in
using her own body along with the meat chart to get the point
across.
• Julia is just right for the times…he postwar travel boom
brought millions of U.S. tourists back from Europe with their
tastes broadened and sharpened by what they had eaten
there. At the same time, a host of kitchen aids, from
dishwashers, pressure cookers, blenders and deepfreeze units
to the latest nonstick Teflon pans, were taking the drudgery
out of cooking.
17. David Kamp New York Times Review
Julie and Julia
• “When she's focused on the cooking itself, Powell shows
signs of being one of our better, loopier culinary thinkers.”
• "Julie and Julia" still has too much blog in its DNA: it has a
messy, whatever's-on-my-mind incontinence to it, taking us
places we'd rather not go…Being subjected over and over
again to images of your piled-up dirty dishes and backed-up
plumbing (bodily and otherwise) only makes me want to
put down your book. Stop it!”
• “Julie Powell willed herself out of that secretarial pool by
thinking big; I wish that, for her print publishing debut, she
hadn't thought so small.”
18. Sarah Chalfant Review from Publisher’s
Weekly Julie and Julia
• “Some passages in the book are taken verbatim from
the blog, but Powell expands on her experience and
gives generous background about her personal life: her
doting husband, wacky friends, evil co-workers.”
• “Her writing is feisty and unrestrained.”
• “Occasionally the diarist instinct overwhelms the
generally tight structure and Powell goes on unrelated
tangents, but her voice is endearing enough that
readers will quickly forgive such lapses.”
19. Julie Powell Interview with Newsweek
• Unlike more modern pop-culture icons, whose
every move is in the tabloids, Child remains
something of a mystery figure. "She reflects what
we want to find in her," says Powell.
• "Julia didn't create armies of drones, mindlessly
equating her name with taste and muttering 'It's
a good thing' under their minty breath. Instead
she created feisty, buttery, adventurous cooks,
always diving into the next possible disaster,
because goddammit, if Julia did it, so could we."
