"Hilarious and ferociously articulate. Powell wrote candidly and vividly about her antic adventures with Child's recipes. . . But perhaps more importantly, she wrote about food in a rich and raucous context, about putting pot-au-feu on the table through plumbing crises and existential desperation; about both Buffy the Vampire Slayer fandom and the difficulties of finding marrow bones."
-Entertainment Weekly
"Bracingly original, JULIE & JULIA is clearly the work of a writer who has reclaimed her soul." -People
"Powell is not a domestic goddess; she's emphatically, unembarrassedly a domestic mortal. But she is also a genuinely gifted thinker and writer about food." -Time
"You don't have to like cooking or French food to enjoy the zippiness of Ms. Powell's prose or to admire the purpose of her project. . . . And she really did change her life. Now she's a writer. A good one."
-The Wall Street Journal
