My Next Cookbook

So I have a new favorite movie.  My sister let me borrow her copy of Julie and Julia and I"m hooked.  I HAVE TO HAVE THAT COOKBOOK.  I"m so embarrassed that I profess to love food so much and don't know much about Julia Child.  I just looked Mastering the Art of French Cooking up on amazon.com and it doesn't have a rating lower than a 4 stars.  Almost every review says how wonderful and amazing this book is so I have to see what all the fuss is about.  I have actually made one of Julia Child recipes with out knowing who she was and it's fabulous!  Anyways I'd love to try that beautiful chocolate cake towards the end of the movie (for Shawn since he's had the worst trip you can imagine this weekend) and whatever it is that looks as if it is made entirely out of cheese.  I would REALLY love to hear people loving my food so much they can't contain their yummy food noises.  I'd really love that!
