After college, Powell moved to New York. She worked in various low-paying jobs before starting her cooking blog and embarking on her Julie/Julia Project.
As a cook with no training, Powell documented her struggles in the kitchen. While Powell would detail her challenges around cooking, she would also expound on her personal life, quickly growing an audience that was as interested in her feelings and relationships.
