Julie Powell (著)2005
From Publishers Weekly
Powell became an Internet celebrity with her 2004 blog chronicling her yearlong odyssey of cooking every recipe in Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. A frustrated secretary in New York City, Powell embarked on "the Julie/Julia project" to find a sense of direction, and both the cooking and the writing quickly became all-consuming. Some passages in the book are taken verbatim from the blog, but Powell expands on her experience and gives generous background about her personal life: her doting husband, wacky friends, evil co-workers. She also includes some comments from her "bleaders" (blog readers), who formed an enthusiastic support base. Powell never met Julia Child (who died last year), but the venerable chef's spirit is present throughout, and Powell imaginatively reconstructs episodes from Child's life in the 1940s. Her writing is feisty and unrestrained, especially as she details killing lobsters, tackling marrowbones and cooking late into the night. Occasionally the diarist instinct overwhelms the generally tight structure and Powell goes on unrelated tangents, but her voice is endearing enough that readers will quickly forgive such lapses. Both home cooks and devotees of Bridget Jones–style dishing will be caught up in Powell's funny, sharp-tongued but generous writing.

沒關係﹐布里麥爾說﹐我打開這書告訴自己﹐“咱們走著瞧。”
如今這個網站已經成為美食博客領域響當當的名字﹐不僅連連獲獎
烹飪全記錄的博主們說﹐他們開博的目的各不相同﹕學習烹飪基本技巧
視覺計算技術企業英偉達公司(Nvidia)的瑞恩亞當斯
在所有菜譜烹飪類博客中﹐最引人注目的可能要數三個選擇《美食家
第一位瞄準《美食家菜譜》的博客作者蒂娜傑哈德(Teena Gerhardt)畢業於麻省理工學院(MIT)
三位博主做菜速度各有不同﹐他們每週登出一至七份菜譜
美食博客作者們通常不會在博客上貼出完整的菜譜配方
典型的例子就是勞瑞伍德沃德(Laurie Woodward)。這位來自匹茲堡的母親開通了名為
伍德沃德說﹐對於許多焙烤愛好者來說﹐多麗就像神一樣
格林斯潘接受採訪時說﹐她真的被這個博客吸引了﹐她將這類網站當作
這類網站的始祖或許要數創辦於2002年的朱莉/朱莉婭項目
今天的博主很少能獲得如此巨大的成功。不過布里麥爾已經為一個醞釀
雖然美食博客的訪客人數遠不夠博主們以此謀生﹐但博主們並不在意
上面提到的凱文凱西對此也深有同感。在開始自己浩大的烹飪工程後
凱西說﹐那時叔叔一個人默默地做﹐自得其樂﹐卻沒有途徑與人分享
