The Book:
"Mastering the Art of French Cooking". First edition, 1961. Louisette Berthole. Simone Beck. And, of course, Julia Child. The book that launched a thousand celebrity chefs. Julia Child taught America to cook, and to eat. It’s forty years later.  Today we think we live in the world Alice Waters made, but beneath it all is Julia, 90 if she's a day, and no one can touch her. 
 
The Contender:
Government drone by day, renegade foodie by night. Too old for theatre, too young for children, and too bitter for anything else, Julie Powell was looking for a challenge. And in the Julie/Julia project she found it. Risking her marriage, her job, and her cats’ well-being, she has signed on for a deranged assignment.
365 days. 536 recipes. One girl and a crappy outer borough kitchen.
How far will it go? We can only wait. And wait. And wait…..
The Julie/Julia Project. Coming soon to a computer terminal near you."

The research article:

Learning to find answers to questions on the Web by Eugene Agichtein, Steve Lawrence, Luis Gravano

The Contenders:

Academic writing teachers and TAs by day, non-native-speaker academic writers by night. Too timid to write without AI, too overwhelmed to write with AI, and too stubborn for anything else, Jason Chang, Grace Li, and Jane Chiang were looking for a challenge. And in the Steve/Jason Project, they found it. Risking sleep, sanity, and scholarly dignity, they signed on for a deranged assignment.

10 days. 10 academic writing recipes. One captain and two sailors ill-equipped to sail through the rough sea of academic writing. They are going to chronicle their 10-day quest to write two research papers, mirroring all 6 sections and almost a hundred paragrahs of "Learning to Find Answers to Questions on the Web" by Eugene Agichtein, Steve Lawrence, and Luis Gravano (ALG 2004)
