This year's winning blog began life as a online diary of the attempt by Julie Powell to cook the recipes in the 1961 cookbook by Julia Child, Mastering the Art of French Cooking.
Her blog built up a cult following. The entries were published as a book last year and has since sold almost 100,000 copies.

Here's more info about Powell . It's a Q & A.
"Those who dismiss blogging as 'mere' confessional writing and complaining about one's day job fail to appreciate just how engrossing those genres can be when handled by a talented writer like Julie Powell," said writer and activist Cory Doctorow, who was on the judging panel.
"The story of how blogging, writing in public, changed Powell's life is both memorable and inspirational."
