At dinner today, a friend asked me to explain what the point of starting a food blog was. (Why limit it to food? What's the theme? What's the goal? "What's the elevator pitch?"). A blog with a readership of four doesn't really need to have a "pitch," and the immediate answer is just that I saw Julie & Julia two days ago and realized that I had about eight blog posts about food and cooking that I had to write right now.
Also, while watching the movie, I was struck by Paul Child's prediction to his wife that her cookbook would "change the world"-- and by how right he was. This blog has no such grand ambitions (thus the tagline on the slab-pie picture), but that's still the real reason I started it: because cookbooks can change the world.
