I saw Julie and Julia this past weekend, a cute chick flick starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams. Meryl Streep stars as the beloved cooking goddess Julia Child and Amy Adams portrays a funny character searching for herself while cooking every recipe from Julia Child’s cookbook and blogging about it. It’s a hilarious movie, with funny little cooking snafus that pop up which every one of us can relate to-especially for us here in the cookbook and food world!

Recently, Chef Michael Smith, author of the bestselling cookbook The Best of Chef at Home made us aware of a fan that was cooking every recipe from his book, then blogging about it. I thought this was so cool I had to check it out:

If anyone has an interesting story about cooking a recipe from one of our Whitecap Books, or even better a picture of a finished dish send it over! We would love to see it.
