Compare Cleaving by Julie Powell, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Julie Powell thought cooking her way through Julia Child'sMastering the Art of French Cookingwas the craziest thing she'd ever do-until she embarked on the voyage recounted in her new memoir, CLEAVING. Her marriage challenged by an insane, irresistible love affair, Julie decides to leave town and immerse herself in a new obsession: butchery. She finds her way to Fleischer's, a butcher shop where she buries herself in the details of food. She learns how to break down a side of beef and French a rack of ribs-tough, physical work that only sometimes distracts her from thoughts of afternoon trysts. The camaraderie at Fleischer's leads Julie to search out fellow butchers around the world-from South America to Europe toAfrica. At the end of her odyssey, she has learned a new art and perhaps even mastered her unruly heart. | Cleaving by Julie Powell, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
