Julia Child's Kitchen offers an intimate look at Julia Child's beloved home kitchen, the workspace and recipe testing lab that has drawn crowds at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History for nearly twenty years. Author Paula Johnson, one of its original collectors and keepers, shares firsthand accounts of cooking alongside Julia and reveals why this space is a window into larger themes in twentieth century American history. Between lively narrative, compelling photography, and detailed commentary on Julia's favorite gadgets, the book illuminates the stories behind its design, use, significance, and legacy, a beautifully designed tribute that will be a must have for every home cook and Julia Child fan.
