Larry Mantle talks with food columnist for the L.A. Times Russ Parsons about his latest column that discusses the new film Julie and Julia and what Julia Child thought of Julie Powell’s blog and quest to make all of the recipes in Child’s cookbook, “Mastering The Art of French Cooking.” Parsons was a friend of Child’s and brought the blog to her attention.
