More about the movie:
Le Creuset features throughout the movie that has already sent US and UK 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.
Le Creuset’s timeless Cast Iron cookware in Flame orange appears in both the 1940s Julia Child scenes and scenes from Julie Powell’s more recent year-long attempt to recreate her recipes. To celebrate its presence in Julie & Julia,
So be prepared to laugh, cry and fall in love with Le Creuset when Julie & Julia open at cinemas November 13th!
