Julia Child's Benedictine-Infused Soul
(Julia Child died on August 13, 2004. “Julie & Julia,” a film about “The Julia Project,” one of the first food blogs ever, came out in 2009.) The movie, “Julie & Julia,” stars a be-wigged Meryl Streep as Julia and Amy Adams as depressed and bored NYC secretarial temp Julie Powell. The celluloid promised to be a real trip, hopefully delicious, but likely not. When I read Julie Powell’s Julie &…

Welcome!
Hello, come sit and enjoy my writings about my experiences with the culinary world, my favorite recipes, and my thoughts and feelings on foods I love and enjoy with a passion.
For starters, I'm Gabby Jean!
I'm a culinary student and a lifetime foodie. My family is very diverse, so I have experienced many foods from various cultures and events. I'm following in the footsteps of my grandmother, she is a chef herself, retired, but still cooking up amazing food. I will get into that another time. I also have a love for writing. I am fond of fantasy and sci-fi stories I write on Webnovel, but I wanted to start writing more about my own real-world experiences regarding food and my journey to becoming a chef. A pastry chef, more specifically!
I have a huge sweet tooth.
An inspiration for starting this blog was Julie Powell. She is the author of Julie & Julia, in which she cooked every recipe in Julia Child's cookbook, 'Mastering the Art of French Cooking' over one year. (the book was adapted into a fantastic movie 10/10 would recommend watching it!)
Julie and I share some similarities that drive me to write this blog. I, too, am a Native Texan. I hail from Fort Worth but attend school in San Antonio. I also have a hard time finishing projects, and reading about hers and watching the movie made me realize I will set a goal and finish it!
So here is the goal: Write every day, or at least once a week, until I graduate from Culinary school.
There are about two years left, as I am now midway through my second semester. It will be hard, but I know I can be up to it.
Sadly, Julie Powell passed away on October 26th, 2022, so in honor of her, I begin this blog on November 3rd, 2024, at 1 a.m.
Hope Y'all enjoy it!

Okay, this is slightly embarrassing but I don’t have a clue as to what these dishes are.
I tried some researching but couldn’t find anything conclusive. Rather than spread false information, I think I’ll leave to people who might have an idea about it. Please do let me know if you know these dishes.
Other than that, bon appetit!
P.S - I believe this is one of the sweetest moments during the Julie Powell-Eric Powell relationship.

Julie & Julia
Since I’m going to start posting my book review stuff on here, might as well start as I’m still reading! Like I’m gonna remember every single thing that happens … (yeah right) keeping a draft open while I read would be the best solution going forward, right?
I’m probably the last person on earth to read this book, but I was specifically saving this one. I wanted to wait for a reading slump because I just knew I was going to love it.
The biggest thing I’m starting to realize is, I should probably be reading memoirs more often. It’s interesting reading about a persons normal life and realizing your life must be pretty normal too. Between parts about the food and her blog, the moments about her marriage and her mental breakdowns and dead bedroom are reassuring and real.
Overall, I’m finding Julie Powell to be quite charming and her writing style took me some time to really get in to, but it’s keeping me glued now. I’m currently 43% into the book. It’s seriously making me consider making braised chuck roast or short ribs for dinner. But do I have the time to do it justice? It would have to wait til Sunday. I’m glad Julie had the will power to cook into the unruly hours of the night, but I’m past thirty to her pushing thirty. I can’t do that anymore lmao
Baked cucumbers? Apparently I’ve got to try it. She also shares my distaste for cucumbers, but baked? Apparently they’re a fuckin banger. UPDATE: not bad, but I bought the wrong cucumbers for the recipe I chose, so that was my bad. But cucumbers smothered in cheese and garlic is a good improvement to the base itself.
My problem with memoirs is that if I can finish it, it must be good, which also must mean that we could’ve been friends if we had managed to skirt along side each other in life. When it’s a real person I’m reading about, I need to know what they look like, what they sound like, etc. and next thing I know, I’m looking at the similarities between our lives. Like how Julie would compare her life to Julia Child’s throughout the book. And I don’t just mean our mutual distaste for cucumbers. There were a few right off the bat, not to totally expose myself or spoil the book though. This notion first brought me to audible, cause of course she would’ve narrated her own memoir, right? Spoiler alert, she does. And she managed to sound just like I thought she would. Great. Weird, maybe? Next, I needed to know what she looked like. Cause all I could picture in my head was Amy Adams, and that just wasn’t fair to her or me.
Going to google simply brought 3 things to my attention: the first being that Amy Adams was a pretty decent cast choice, the second being that Julia Child actually didn’t like Julie’s whole blog thing(wtf?), and third, by the time I’m reading her memoir, Julie Powell was dead(have another wtf for good measure).
At the time I’m typing this, not only was Julie dead, but she also died a little over two years ago on my birthday. Do you call that a coincidence? Or just plain dumb fucking luck somehow?
I’ve also never in my life wanted to try liver, but Julie makes me want to try liver. She literally makes liver sound sexy. I brought it up my SO and he was not so happy about the idea. Maybe Julie will help him see liver as sexy.
I ended up just zooming through the rest of the book and I loved it. There were times that I was laughing, wanting to cry, and join in on her hysterics. I’m not sure how much of it is actually true and not exaggerated, but I still enjoyed it all nonetheless.
5 ⭐️
First one of the year.
Some favorite quotes:
“Eric is a sensitive twenty-first-century sort of guy, but a Texan nevertheless, and the idea of a dinner without animal flesh gets him a little panicky.” (My SO is the same way. I feel the pain)
“Maybe I needed to make like a potato, winnow myself down, be a part of something that was not easy, just simple.”
“She wants you to remember that you are human, and as such are entitled to that most basic of human rights, the right to eat well and enjoy life.”
“But hard-bitten cynicism leaves one feeling peevish, and too much of it can do lasting damage to your heart.”
“Of course the cow I got marrow from had a fairly crappy life—lots of crowds and overmedication and bland food that might or might not have been a relative. But deep in his or her bones, there was the capacity for feral joy. I could taste it.”
“So sometimes I’m irritated by my husband, and sometimes I’m frustrated. But I can think of two times right off the top of my head when it’s particularly good to be married. The first is when you need help with killing the lobsters. The second is when you’ve got an inspirational story to relate regarding a large African American woman who runs an S&M dungeon. I told it to him as we sopped up the last of the buttery lobster juice with some hunks of French bread.”
“If you are not one of us, the culinarily depraved, there is no way to explain what’s so darkly enticing about eviscerating beef marrowbones, chopping up lobster, baking a three-layer pecan cake, and doing it for someone else, offering someone hard-won gustatory delights in order to win pleasures of another sort. Everyone knows there are foods that are sexy to eat.”
“Julia taught me what it takes to find your way in the world. It’s not what I thought it was. I thought it was all about—I don’t know, confidence or will or luck. Those are all some good things to have, no question. But there’s something else, something that these things grow out of. It’s joy.”
This was my first time ever really writing a review, but I think it’s more of just my thought process as I made my way through the book. If you took the time to read this, thanks! I really appreciate it :3

So, it's over. The project has come to a close. We're back exactly where we started - Eric, me, the cat, slightly worse for wear, sitting in the outer boroughs, eating
So, thanks everybody! And guess what?
Bon Appetit!
The last of the Julie and Julia food scenes. This was truly a fun experience. Until next time :)
Dish above :
