Overview
Julie Powell thought cooking her way through Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking was the craziest thing she'd ever do--until she embarked on the voyage recounted in her new memoir, CLEAVING.

She finds her way to Fleischer's, a butcher shop where she buries herself in the details of food.

The camaraderie at Fleischer's leads Julie to search out fellow butchers around the world--from South America to Europe toAfrica . At the end of her odyssey, she has learned a new art and perhaps even mastered her unruly heart.
