No, it's not the name of a long lost Muppet! The Blooker prize celebrates a new hybrid literary form. The Lulu Blooker Prize is the world's first literary prize devoted to blooks. Books based on blogs or websites. Awarded in three categories: Fiction, Non-Fiction and Comics.
Julie Powell, a 32-year-old New Yorker, who spent a year trying to master every recipe in a book of French cookery, has become the inaugural winner of a prize devoted to books born of blogs.
Julie came up with the idea of attempting to cook all 524 recipes in Julia Child's 1961 cookbook Mastering the Art of French Cooking and chronicled her efforts online in the Julie/Julia Project. The blog led to a publishing deal and the resulting book, Julie and Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Kitchen Apartment, has sold more than 100,000 copies.
Looking forward to getting my hands on copies of...
