This week the death of Julie Powell, the food writer who became known for writing a blog about what it was like to cook all the recipes (524) of chef Julia Child, was confirmed for a year. Those experiences were transformed into a book and a subsequent film that starred Amy Adams and Maryl Streep.

This Tuesday, November 1, the death of the 49-year-old gastronomic writer, Julie Powell known for her cooking blog “Julie & Julia”which was the subject of a film starring Amy Adams and Meryl Streep.

It was The New York Times newspaper that announced that Powell died on October 26 at her home in Olivebridge, in upstate New York, due to cardiac arrest, according to her husband Eric Powell.

Who was Julie Powell

Writer Julie Powell became famous by recounting in a blog in an amusing way what it was like to cook all the recipes (524) of the chef Julia Child, who had written “Mastering the art of French cuisine“.

Before the year was out, Salon reported that the blog had some 400,000 total page views, as well as several thousand regular readers clinging to the drama of whether Powell would actually finish on time.

The publisher Little, Brown & Company turned the blog into a book, “Julie & Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen” (Julie and Julia: 365 days, 524 recipes, 1 small apartment kitchen).

Sales of the work skyrocketed after the 2009 film “Julie & Julia,” which was director Nora Ephron’s last film and starred Meryl Streep as Julia Child and Amy Adams as Julie Powell.

Chef Child died in 2004, so she never got to see the film, but, according to The Times, she was aware of Powell’s blog and told the press she didn’t understand why Powell had so much “trouble” recreating her recipes.

In 2009, Julie Powell published his second and last book, “Cleaving: A Story of Marriage, Meat and Obsession“, in which he describes the extramarital relationships that he experienced as a couple.

This time, the connection to food was darker: she juxtaposed her apprenticeship as a butcher with a dissection of her moods and marriage.
