Living in a tiny apartment in New York and trapped in a job she hates, Powell sees life passing her by. Then one night, she notices that the few items she's grabbed from the grocery shop are the very ingredients for Potage Parmentier, as described in Julia Child's legendary cookbook, 'Mastering the Art of French Cooking.'

And the project is born. Julie begins to cook - every one of the 524 recipes in the book, in the space of just one year.
