Cleaving

Cleaving: A Story of Marriage, Meat, and Obsession by Julie Powell


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The story behind the Julie of Julie & Julia, 365 days, 524 recipes, 1 tiny apartment kitchen, a heart-string tugging confessional mixed with a foodie journey. Julie lays out the path of her marriage and infidelities, while at the same time tracing her apprenticeship in a New Jersey butcher shop and travels around the world to learn about meat. Balanced but emotional, intellectually interesting while emotionally fascinating. Hard to put down.
