Can You Eat in Bed?
By: Maureen Dowd
Published: August 1,2009

Nora Ephron is the current director of the big screen movie “Julie & Julia.” Nora Ephron is a “competent cook” herself and in this interview with Maureen Dowd they discuss the importance of food in life. She reveals that the only reason 21 Century Fox previous owner Joe Roth only let her make the movie “Julie & Julia” because “[She] told him exactly what to order (the cabbage borscht, which [he found] delicious).” When asked “Do couples that cook together stay together?” she declares “No. I have cooked with men I am no longer married to.” Nora Ephron is candid and straight forward in her interview. She promotes cooking and food as more than an ingredient to life; but rather the main course.
Maureen Dowd does a fantastic job of asking questions that lets you get to know Nora Ephron better and gets you answers to lingering questions you might from her previous interviews. The interview is light, entertaining, and rather humorous so much so that you even find that you silently chuckle to yourself. Maureen Dowd always finds a way to write interesting articles even when it’s an interview. She rarely, ever fails to show how brilliant she is and in this interview she far from fails. Maureen Dowd is a wonderfully marvelous writer and this interview is a laid back read.
