Movie food styling tricks included using mozzarella in Julia's French Onion soup and melting the top with a paint stripper to achieve maximum "gooeyness".
One of the brightest stars of the new film "Julie and Julia" gets no billing. Yup, you foodies have probably guessed that the dishes in this culinary melding of Julie Powell's "Julie and Julia" and Julia Child's "My Life in France" are the pieces de resistance.
"This is just a celebration of food, which is a thing that changes both of these women's lives," Nora Ephron says. "It's about joy -- and the joy of food, and the joy of cooking."
Some of the dishes in the film and exclusive photos after the jump.
"One of the things I said at the beginning to the actors was that everybody had to eat in the scenes," Ephron says.
Heirloom tomato bruschetta, sole meuniere, chocolate cake, French onion soup and beef bourguignon are among the dishes that are brought to decadent light in the film. And it's no accident they look so good.
