Apparently, Meryl Streep's place is in the kitchen

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Meryl Streep will whip up some culinary delights as Julia Child in a movie about a woman inspired by the cooking icon.

"Julie & Julia" is an adaptation of the 2005 book by Julie Powell, "Julie & Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen." Amy Adams ("Junebug") is in negotiations to co-star as Powell.

The Columbia Pictures film follows Powell, a government worker who decides to cook her way through Child's classic "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" in one year out of her small Brooklyn kitchen. Powell blogs her daily experiences, gaining a loyal following along the way.

Nora Ephron will direct from her own script. Streep has starred in two films written by Ephron, 1983's "Silkwood" and 1986's "Heartburn." Streep, currently in theaters with "Rendition," stars in Robert Redford's November 9 release "Lions for Lambs." Adams stars in "Enchanted," which opens November 21.
