Julia Child’s Kitchen Guest Blog

Oh I wish I were there in person but my son Matthew and granddaughter Prema were in Washington DC. He filmed a short video and I captured a few screenshots from it. Here’s a link to the National Museum of American History Fact Sheet about the exhibition. She donated her Cambridge Massachusetts kitchen to the museum in 2001.

The Garland stove, details in the Fact Sheet.

If you’d like to see a few closeups of the objects (a Pyrex measuring cup, the “Forkery”, a ceramic fig, cat and fish prints from the walls etc) in her kitchen you can click the museum’s search pages here

Thanks for seeing this discard and thinking of me, James.
