In 2009 the film Julie and Julia was released. It chronicles the life of chef Julia Child in the early years of her culinary career with the life of young New Yorker Julie Powell, who aspires to cook all 524 recipes in Child’s cookbook in 365 days. A challenge she described on her popular blog that would make her a published author. Purely on the parallels alone I had to take this film on as a theme and with that I have dressed up as Julia – the chef that inspires Julie’s personal challenge blog.

The most difficult bit was pinning my hair to look short and curly.
