Amy Adams explains what real-life cooking skills she learned on the set of Julie & Julia. Adams played the titular Julie Powell in the film, a blogger who works to emulate Julia Child's cooking. The story intersperses Julie's story with the story of the real Julia Child, as it spans across multiple decades, as Julie and Julia's lives connect in unexpected ways. Julie & Julia was directed by Nora Ephron, with a leading cast that included Adams, Meryl Streep, Chris Messina, Stanley Tucci, Linda Emond, and Helen Carey.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Adams explains what skill she learned working on Julie & Julia. In this interview, Adams began by talking about how much she appreciates "the way that the food is treated as a character" in Julie & Julia. This inspired the actor to become more interested in cooking herself. On the set of Julie & Julia,...

524 recipes. 365 days. 123 minutes. A 3 out of 5 star movie. Those are just some of the numbers that pertain to ‘Julie & Julia,’ Nora Ephron’s biopic/dramedy that has way of entertaining in fits and starts.

Presented in back-and-forth fashion, the film tells two true stories. One pertains to Julia Child, played by Meryl Streep, and her husband, Paul, played by Stanley Tucci. Paul works for the Us embassy, and, as soon as the couple arrives in Paris, he and his wife take to the culture, particularly the food. It’s the ’40s and ’50s, and Julia has yet to become the famed chef. This half of the film centers on her working on her first book, an encyclopedia-sized book of recipes that would eventually become Mastering the Art of French Cooking.

Intercut with this is the story of Julie Powell, played by Amy Adams. Julie is a frustrated secretary living in 2002 New York City.

"Aunt Juliane is one of those people who feels her place is to help those in her community and family," says Helen Carey of her role in Roundabout Theatre Company's Broadway production of Hedda Gabler. "The pitfall is that she can sound saccharine, self-important, advertising her nature, advertising her good deed. It's easy to fall into the trap of sounding not genuine but sanctimonious."Hedda's aunt-in-law is also a bit of a busybody. "Whether the character I'm playing is wearing a black hat or a white hat," Carey says, "I try to give them legitimacy. No one wakes up in the morning and says, 'How am I going to invade someone else's life or ruin someone's day?' They justify their own needs or inclinations. They think they're doing it for the greater good. To give legitimacy to a busy or a needy aunt is the job of the actor.
