Meryl Streep is Julia Child and Amy Adams is writer Julie Powell in Nora Ephron’s comedy, Julie & Julia. 

Before Ina, before Rachael, before Emeril, there was Julia, the woman who forever changed the way America cooks. But in 1948, Julia Child (Meryl Streep) was just an American woman living in France.  Her husband's job has brought them to Paris, and with her indefatigable spirit, she yearned for something to do. 

Fifty years later, Julie Powell is stuck.  Pushing 30, living in Queens and working in a cubicle as her friends achieve stunning successes, she seizes on a seemingly insane plan to focus her energies.  

Julie decides to spend exactly a year cooking all 524 recipes in Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking.  Writer/Director, Nora Ephron, seamlessly melds these two remarkable true stories into a comedy that proves that if you have the right combination of passion, obsession and butter, you can change your life and achieve your dreams.

Featured throughout the movie, Le Creuset’s timeless Cast Iron pieces in Volcanic appear in both the 1940's Julia Child scenes and scenes from Julie Powell’s more recent yearlong attempt to recreate her recipes.
