Customer Reviews

Love Julie!
This lady is funny, quick witted, especially insightful and brutally honest. And I'm not talking about Julia Childs. I found this book belly-laugh funny. Even if you don't like to cook, it's a good read.

Yummy, then not
This blog/book is like a bag of Cheetos. It's so yummy and cheesy and you just can't stop and you really should stop and you kind of slow down and then you feel full and then you have another handful and then you fold up the bag and start to put it where you can't reach it and then you eat another handful and feel kind of yucky and then you wish you'd never seen those Cheetos ever because they weren't really that good to begin with. You don't eat Cheetos again for a long time. This book is a tidbit, not worth the money.

Deliciously Funny and Inspiring
This book made me laugh and has inspired me to get on my cooking and baking spree again. The story is raw and real and I like that!
If you love cooking and baking and aren't a food snob....you will love this book! Julie and Julia...Thank You!
