Want to win a copy of the Julie & Julia DVD? Leave a comment.
**UPDATE: THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED.** What would the Holiday season be without sales, blowouts and giveaways? Well, I’ve got your holiday giveaway right here! December 8th, 2009 marks the release of Julie & Julia on DVD, and (thanks to Sony Pictures) Average Betty is giving a copy away! Simply leave a comment on this post and you are automatically entered to win! But don’t delay… the contest ends on Wednesday, December 9th, 2009 at 9:00 AM PST, when a winner will be drawn randomly and announced here. Good luck, and Bon Appetite!
To continue the celebration of Chef Julia, I made her classic Leek and Potato Soup. With temperatures dropping even here in SoCal, this soup is perfect to enjoy on a chilly winter day. This mild, creamy soup will please even the pickiest palate. You know you want a bowl, so get the recipe here.

LOVE the picture of the soup…(does this improve my chances of winning?! i hope so! :D)
What a great movie and giveaway – thanks!
I still haven’t had the time to watch the movie, so this gives me a perfect opportunity :P :P
I have been waiting SO long for this movie to come out in DVD. Yeah! It’s here!
As for getting a copy – count me in. I was thinking the other day how great it would be to own this DVD.
Saw this movie in theaters and so glad it was timed to arrive on DVD before the holidays. Would love a copy of it too!
Regards,
CCR =8~)
We kept trying to do a girls night to see it & it never materialized. We just decided to do a group dinner effort with our holiday exchange & this would be a great addition to it!!
I would love to see this movie, my husband refuses so I’ll have to watch it on my own. I love cooking, and have always admired Julia Childs.
Hey Average Betty,
Love the idea of the giveaway. Pleased that you could get all those chefs on a con call. J.Pepin is a hero of mine too. Can’t wait to read your post.
