Julie and Julia and Meryl

JULIE AND JULIA AND MERYL

First Julie Powell parlayed her blog “Julie and Julia� (where she works her way through Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking) into her own book, now she’s pulled the ultimate coup, the book is now in production to become a Hollywood movie with Nora Ephron in the director’s chair and Meryl Streep signed to play the role of Child.

But is Meryl going to be able to fill Julia’s size 12 shoes?

Over at Food and Wine magazine they have doubts.

Say’s Emily Kaiser, Associate Food Editor

"We discussed it in-house, and the consensus seems to be - perhaps. Our features editor, Michelle Shih, always apt to notice the details, remembered a scene in The Hours in which Streep deftly separated egg whites from egg yolks by letting the whites run through her fingers. "It was the sort of trick that gave me the idea she's cooked before," Michelle said. What can we do - we're a little protective of Our Lady of Deliciousness and Dropped Turkeys."
