Le Creuset cooks up a storm in box office hit Julie & Julia.
Set to inspire a whole new love affair with iconic Le Creuset Cast Iron in UK cinemas on September 11th, Julie & Julia boasts an impressive cast and a heady mix of food, relationships and writing.
Le Creuset features throughout the movie that has already sent US audiences rushing back to the kitchen to pore over cookbooks. Meryl Streep is Julia Child and Amy Adams is writer Julie Powell in Nora Ephron’s comedy, Julie & Julia. Before Ina, before Rachael, before Emeril, there was Julia, the woman who forever changed the way America cooks. But in 1948, Julia Child was just an American woman living in France. Her husbands job has brought them to Paris, and with her indefatigable spirit, she yearned for something to do.
Fifty years later, Julie Powell (Amy Adams) is stuck. Pushing 30, living in Queens and working in a cubicle as her friends achieve stunning successes, she seizes on a seemingly insane plan to focus her energies. Julie decides to spend exactly a year cooking all 524 recipes in Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking (which Child co-wrote with Louise Bertholle and Simone Beck) – and write a blog about her experiences. Director-writer-producer Nora Ephron seamlessly melds these two remarkable true stories into a comedy that proves that if you have the right combination of passion, obsession and butter, you can change your life and achieve your dreams.
