Julie & Julia - Le Film ;)

So i have just watched the lovely film Julie & Julia, a foodie film based on the ledgendary cook Julia Childs. It is about a woman in her late 20's who feels like she has finised nothing in her life and wants to do something, anything! So she decides to start a blog (yay! :D lol) and aims to do every single recipe in Julia Childs cook book in 365 days, and yes theres about 500-600 recipes!! The film also flips to an earlier time when Julia Child is living the dream in Paris, and learing to cook but also aiming to get her 'french cooking for americans' book published, with the help of her charming husband (the fab gay guy from the devil wears prada)
This was a heart-warming film about how food seems to save people in so many ways, and bring so much fun and spark into their lives...i thought it would be good for all those in recovery to watch because again it sends out that important message that food is safe, and brings people together...it also highlights that an obsession with it can make you a recluse and you have to find the right balance, a passion for food is good, if you want to be a chef in particular...but an obsession is just plain mental haha
Plus it's really funny and light hearted, and has incredible performances by amy adams and meyrl streep :) it's a must see in my eyes!! If you watch it tell me what you think! I love hearing from all of you :) xxxxx
