Julie Powell death: ‘Julie and Julia’ food writer dies of cardiac arrest aged 49
Food writer Julie Powell, who rose to fame while trying to emulate the culinary feats of Julia Child, has died at the age of 49, her family have announced.
Ms Powell died from a cardiac arrest at her home in Olivebridge, upstate New York, on 26 October, her widow Eric Powell told the New York Times.
In 2002, Ms Powell spent a year documenting her attempts to cook all 524 recipes in Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking for her popular food blog The Julie/Julia Project.
It was later turned into the 2009 movie Julie and Julia, starring Meryl Streep as Child and Amy Adams as Ms Powell.
According to an obituary on Eater.com, Ms Powell’s blog was “emblematic of the early days of food blogging”.
“Powell embodied a wry, exasperated tone when discussing both food and life, with no shortage of cursing and schadenfreude,” the obituary states.
Ms Powell wrote a second book Cleaving: A Story of Marriage, Meat and Obsession, in 2009 which focussed on her marriage.
