Ephron wrote and directed the 2009 film, which was based off a book by Julie Powell. Powell (Amy Adams) tries to cook through every recipe in legendary chef Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" in a year, while a separate storyline follows Child (Meryl Streep) as she lives in Paris and learns to cook. Streep received a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her role.
