Songs From the Julie and Julia Soundtrack

21 songs fill the Julie and Julia Soundtrack with an original music score composed by award-winning film composer Alexandre Desplat.

One of the most romantic songs on the Julie and Julia O.S.T. is Time After Time by Margaret Whiting along with other poignant, period songs from Charles Aznavour, Doris Day and a heartbreaking tune from Meryl Streep's son Henry Wolfe Gummer.

Clawing its way onto the Soundtrack to Julie and Julia is the Talking Heads Psychokiller otherwise dubbed the Lobster Killer song which perfectly accents the bon vivant crustacean killing scene.

Song From the Julie and Julia Soundtrack

Having this Doris Day song on the Julie and Julia Soundtrack takes me back to my youth. I was a strange kid and listened to my Doris Day Greatest Hits album over and over just to listen to the song Que Sera Sera. I always found Doris Day's voice extremely soothing. Still do.

Le Creuset Round French Oven

For Serious Cooks

The perfect Valentine's Day gift or anytime gift for gourmet cooks -- the much coveted Cast Iron Enamel Dutch Oven from Le Creuset as featured in the movie Julie and Julia with both Julie Powell and Julia Child cooking in the orange "flame" color set. The 5 1/2 quart size is the size to get. Splurge on the larger size if you have a family, but remember the larger isn't necessarily better as cast iron gets heavy especially when filled with broth or liquids.

Orange Casserole Dish Julie & Julia

Le Creuset 5 1/2 Quart Flame Round French Oven

It's been said appliances and useful items like cookware are considered bad gifts for men to give their wives on Valentine's Day or Mother's Day. But I'd say, any serious gourmand would appreciate a Le Creuset 5 1/2 Quart Round French Oven in the oh so practical 5 1/2 Quart size in Flame color as featured in the movie Julie & Julia.

Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 5-1/2-Quart Round French Oven, Red

Amazon Price: $224.50 (as of 02/17/2012)Buy Now

This classic Le Creuset 5 1/2 quart dutch oven is the perfect size. There is the cute oval size and a size smaller and a size larger. But for even heating and to fit a whole chicken, the 5 1/2 quart size is perfect.

Any larger, remember it's cast iron enamel, so this cookware is pretty heavy even empty and with liquids or broths the 7 quart size gets a bit heavy, unwieldy and awkward to lift. The smaller size is a tad too small to fit a pork roast or roaster size chicken and even though the oval shape is visually appealing it leads to uneven heating on a round stove element.

So if there's only one Le Creuset piece of cookware you buy, friends who cook agree this is the one to get. It's available in cherry red, flame orange, kiwi lime green, dune sand color, dijon bright yellow, cobalt deep blue or a bright caribbean blue.

Amazon Price: $2.27 (as of 02/17/2012)Buy Now

If you loved the movie Julie and Julia, you'll love the book Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously. Over 500 mixed reviews on Amazon.com with people either hating or loving it. Along the same vein as Elizabeth Gilbert's eat, pray, love, people life changing memoir, another book that people found either whiny or inspirational.

I loved the story of Julie Powell, office drone, blogging her way out of a cubicle existence taking inspiration from Julia Child. What could be hard about cooking one recipe a day? A great book to read in the New Year about making resolutions and sticking to them especially when the going gets tough. The book's a fun, easy read.

5 Meryl Streep Romantic Movies

You May Also Enjoy

So many fantastic Meryl Streep movies to choose from. If you enjoyed Meryl Streep in Julie and Julia and want to see more Meryl, you may also appreciate Streep in these other 5 movies. I think one thing in common is Streep's portrayal of Julia's "joie de vivre", a trait shared by Streep and the characters she portrays in Mamma Mia, It's Complicated, Defending Your Life, The Devil Wears Prada and The Bridges of Madison County.

Another Book by Julie Powell

Cleaving: A Story of Marriage, Meat, and Obsession

Amazon Price: $1.50 (as of 02/17/2012)Buy Now

Cleaving, Julie Powell's book after Julie and Julia is a pounding, difficult read. It's like round steak being pounded into submission. Much of the book is spent on Powell's whiny obsession and affair when she has a perfectly dedicated and loyal husband at home and the luxury of a book contract to follow her passion for food. What's worth wading through Cleaving if you can get past the infidelity is Powell's ability to capture the art of becoming a butcher chronicled with similar enthusiasm and detail as her first book.
