NPR et al...
So the All Things Considered piece went up yesterday, you can listen to it, and read it, here:

Annoyingly, they cut all the sexy bits out of the recording. They're still in the written version, though.
And yes, Nancy, it's the Flay v Morou Iron Chef - thanks for looking it up!

Hello, Julie, I found your NPR article while reading the "book" section of NPR online, and I love love LOVE His Dark Materials, so I read the article, and recognized your name, as I have (and love) Julie & Julia. In addition to our mutual love of Pullman and Child, I am also from Texas and lived awhile as a transplanted New Yorker (I eventually crept back to Texas). Anyway, I found your blog by googling you (can you believe "google" is officially a verb now?) and I just wanted to tell you that I think you're fantastic. Congratulations on your book and your NPR appearance; I'm not sure which is more thrilling. :)
Julie, I did a "spit take" with my Oreo cookie when you told Flay (who will always be "Booby A-Fray" from that time he was on Japanese Iron Chef) that you feel like you're being bought when you run into big honking slabs of black truffle. He's definitely not used to being spoken to like that!
I think Jeffrey Steingarten was wishing he'd thought of saying that. Ten bucks he steals your line and uses it in the future!!
Suck. You get o judge Iron Chef and you get Flay. Totally Murphey's Law...
Still, nice snap with the truffle comment. Props indeed.
Nice work on ICA. And no death match vs Jeffrey Steingarten, it seemed. What a relief. I enjoy his writing, but I'd imagine he'd be intimidating to a new judge.
I know you are, to some extent, sworn to secrecy. But I hope you will be able to tell us something about the experience. At least how delicious the food was.
So did you and Steingarten rough each other up in the alley afterwards? And what part of your internal censor lit up that half second after you said "pea-ness"? That was FUNNY.
I, too, believe in...chocolate.
Just caught the NY Times article... Nora Ephron? Oh my god. Congratulations!
Hi Julia,
I was researching food blogs for an article I want to write and came across your name - you were cited as a successful blogger whose passion resulted in their getting a book deal.
I am a journalist from Madras,India and would like to get some quotes from you on connected issues - if you're willing, will you please e-mail me at schallapalli@hotmail.com in a day or two, we can take it forward from there. For your reference, you can Google me as Sravanthi Challapalli (my publication is the Hindu Business Line) and check out my blog - mywordsall.blogspot.com - which has a selection of my articles.
Thanks, Regards
Sravanthi
Just to be totally non-topical here - I am very pleased to have found your current blog. I found the Julie/Julia project in early 2004, and it has become one of my favorite web reads of all time - I return to it regularly, and hope that it doesn't vanish into that misty 404 heaven that so many sites do.
I could also at this point gush a little about your book, which I bought months before it was released (love Amazon pre-orders), and so on.
But basically - thanks for being alive, and writing about it. That you are and do has made my life happier.
Okay - was watching tv and the Food Channel is one of the main channels of my tv surf, and there you were! Awesome! Loved your comments, especially about the truffle! I agree with earlier poster - I almost spit! I did not stay to see who won - cause most of them time I don't agree, but I hope you had fun, and if you have any behind the scenes info - ie are the dishes they serve at the proper temperature? Since there is so much time taken for shots on sets, I have always wondered...
And congrats too on the movie thing! Keep on writing!
well. i started reading your book yesterday afternoon. i got it at the library after having seen it at the barnes noble and was immediately intrigued. as of today i am half way through it* and still very intrigued and find myself wanting to revisit my old culinary school dreams and wishing i had a bigger kitchen in which to saute', chop, bake, whisk and mix things. for now i guess i am just your newest bleader. (*please note that i normally do not have this much time on my hands to read books and research author's blogs & leave freakishly long comments, i spent most of the past 24 hours on a plane and in airports).
Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking"
That's a great book, I've found so many French cooking recipes, French food history, French cooking schools in it.
Nice Blog!!
