Just Add Butter

Let Julie & Julia inspire you

A great food film makes its audience want to immediately run home and cook something. But none have made viewers want to cook something in butter more than Sony Pictures' Julie & Julia.

For that, we can thank Meryl Streep, whose embodiment of the vivacious Julia Child has introduced a new generation to the Baroness of Butter.

If you haven't seen the film already, watch the trailer and clips here, then visit the Julie & Julia site for showtimes near you.

And once you've become a Julia junkie, you'll need something (as she said in her fluttering falsetto) "to Doooo."

Luckily, the movie's website is loaded with ways to get your Julia fix. You can buy the books that inspired the movie and download images and wallpaper.

Best yet, you can watch some of America's best chefs and restaurateurs share Julia stories and cook recipes inspired by the movie, including herbed roasted chicken, braised beef short ribs and butter-poached lobster.

As Julia said, "With enough butter, anything is good."
