In search of inspiration for my own book I came across this funny little paperback book a few weeks ago Julie & Julia - my year of cooking dangerously.
This is a non-fiction book written by Julie Powell, who worked as a temp in a boring job (this could be me) and found herself weeping regularly on the way home from work (not quite me).
Until one day she started the project to cook every one of the 524 recipes in one year described in Julia Child's cookbook Mastering the Art of French Cooking. She wrote about that adventure on her blog, which soon caught the attention not only of other bloggers, but also of the media.
A year and 524 recipes later she has quit her job and now writes in her pyjamas in her Long Island City apartment.
Well, after reading this book I can clearly say that there is hope for my writing project too.
