I may love Japanese skincare, English literature, and Italian Haute Couture, but when it comes to adopting an entire lifestyle - France has my heart. It was this time last year I visited Paris for the first time and fell in love, so I was not surprised when friends would ask me if I'd seen Julie & Julia yet. Could it be the French connection and the fact that there is a devout blogger thrown in the mix that made my friends think of me when they saw this movie? Whatever it was, I was definitely pulled in. After watching it twice, I have been bit by the Julia bug and inspired by her life-changing experience in France. I loved seeing the scenes of Paris in all the seasons and also watching her cook with her Le Creuset French Ovens, two pieces that are already a staple in my kitchen. I bought the famous cookbook today and already am feeling the therapeutic effects these heartfelt recipes will have on my soul. It feels so natural, and makes me actually excited to cook in my less-than-standard kitchen. Who knew food and cooking could have such an effect on me? Thanks Julia for being such an inspiration and a beautiful person. Your infectious voice is etched in my brain forever. Bon Appetit! -j
