Chef

Julie & Julia
The film revolves around Julie Powell, a food blogger, who starts writing about her process of following Julia Child's recipe book and it may sound a bit artificial, it's actually a lot more heart-warming. The movie jumps to different time periods, sharing both Julie and Julia's stories, all the while keeping a connection between them through food.
