Anyone know what the dish is called that Julie makes towards the beginning, with bread toasted in a pan of butter and a tomato mixture on top? Even though Chris Messina ate it with his mouth open and stuffed way too full, I still wanted a bite.Julie & Julia is a 2009 American biographical comedy-drama film written and directed by Nora Ephron starring Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, Stanley Tucci, and Chris Messina.

Danielle' - Mom by day, Firefighter at dinner-time With an excellent cast, witty dialogue, brilliantly average characters and food that made me want to cook dinner at eleven o’clock at night, what’s not to love?
