Read our Review of Julie & Julia
(talking about cooking with butter) "Is there anything better than butter? Think it over, any time you taste something that's delicious beyond imagining and you say 'what's in this?' the answer is always going to be butter. The day there is a meteorite rushing toward Earth and we have thirty days to live, I am going to spend it eating butter. Here is my final word on the subject, you can never have too much butter." - Julie Powell, Julie & Julia
(telling her husband, Eric, what she loves about cooking) "Chocolate cream pie! You know what I love about cooking? I love that after a day when nothing is sure and when I say nothing, I mean nothing. You can come home and absolutely know that if you add egg yolks to chocolate and sugar and milk, it will get thick. That's such a comfort." - Julie Powell, Julie & Julia
(discussing plans for her blog with Eric Powell) "I'll cook my way through the Julia Child cook book and write a blog about it. I'll probably need a deadline otherwise it will be like everything else I do. Let's face it, I never finish anything." - Julie Powell, Julie & Julia
(when asked if she thought Julia Child knew about her and her blog) "I wish! I have this fantasy that she comes for dinner and I show her my new lemon zester. We become very close. The truth is, no one knows about me. I feel like I'm just sending things into this giant void." - Julie Powell, Julie & Julia
