I have great obsession on foods, everything related to food is attractive to me, cookbooks, ingredients, and etc. I just need to admit the fact that I am truly and badly in love with the notion of food across of any forms of it.
Re-watched one of my favourite movie about cooking - Julie & Julia. Surprisingly, I got something new this time. Last time I haven't really think much after watching the movie,I was too immersed in the atmosphere and impressed with Julie's determination, and somehow lacking of some common logical thinking on the details of the movie. This time was different, with the idea of the storyline has been permanently molded into my mind, and so I have more gaps to think and process. And I was fully rewarded with wisdom this time.
About Julie's project, Julia was having her own thoughts on it, through her Editor, her Editor and she thought that, "Flinging around four-letter words when cooking isn't attractive, to me or Julia. She didn't want to endorse it. What came through on the blog was somebody who was doing it almost for the sake of a stunt. She would never really describe the end results, how delicious it was, and what she learned. Julia didn’t like what she called 'the flimsies'. She didn't suffer fools, if you know what I mean."
I love Julie, the one in the movie (I started hate the real Julie after I learned that she divorced Eric), and for sure I incredibly fallen in love with Julia. I think I kind of understand Julia's stand on the whole project. It wasn't really about the recipes, it is about the love, details, concern, attention, insights, discoveries, appreciation found on the process of realizing the recipes, it wasn't always about the measurement and ingredient, sometimes it is about the appreciation, affection you have put and gain throughout the whole cooking. We could learn cooking, but it is more important that we learn the happiness of cooking, and appreciate it.
People, Bon Appetit.
