Julia Child's Kitchenis a deep dive into the beloved cookbook author and television star's favorite place in the world-her home kitchen-and how this space has influenced the ways we cook today.
Foreword by Jacques Pépin
Julia Child's 20' x 14' kitchen was a serious workspace and recipe‑testing lab that exuded a sense of mid‑century homey comfort. Now, it has been on display at the National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C., for most of the past twenty years and museum goers have made it a top destination. Authored by Paula J. Johnson, one of the original collectors and keepers of Julia Child's home kitchen for the past twenty‑one years at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, this book provides an intimate portrait of Julia at home, first‑hand accounts of cooking with Julia in her kitchen, and a deeper understanding of why her kitchen is a window into larger themes in twentieth century American history.
Between lively narrative, compelling photography, and detailed commentary on Julia's favorite kitchen gadgets,JuliaChild's Kitchenilluminates the stories behind the room's design, use, significance, and legacy, showing how deeply Julia Child continues to influence food today. The kitchen contains more than one thousand parts and pieces-tools, appliances, utensils, furniture, artwork, knick‑knacks, books, and bits of whimsy-all reflecting Julia's status as an accomplished chef, gastronome, delightful cooking teacher, television trailblazer, women's advocate, mentor, and generous, jovial friend. The kitchen's layout, design, and contents reflect Julia's philosophy of cooking as well as a period of social and cultural change in the United States, providing a platform for exploring such post‑World War II themes as shifting attitudes about gender roles and domesticity or the tension between tradition and innovation regarding culinary tools, materials, cooking, and food itself. This book, a beautifully designed tribute to Julia Child's legacy, will be a must‑have for every home cook and Julia Child fan.
