SUMMARY:August 4: VIRTUAL - The Legacy of Julia Child's Kitchen with Smithsonian Curator Paula J. Johnson
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, August 4\,  2026  |  11 AM | VIRTUAL \n\n\n\nREGISTER \n\n\n\nJoin us for a conversation that’s sure to warm your heart (and make your stomach rumble)\, as we delve into the legacy of cooking icon Julia Child with Smithsonian curator and public historian Paula J. Johnson\, author of Julia Child’s Kitchen: The Design\, Tools\, Stories\, and Legacy of an Iconic Space. The book includes interviews with chefs who knew Julia well\, commentary on her favorite culinary tools and kitchen gadgets\, and a stunning array of photos. \n\n\n\nJulia Child’s 20’ x 14’ kitchen was a serious workspace and recipe‑testing lab that exuded a sense of mid‑century homey comfort. It has been on display at the National Museum of American History in Washington\, D.C.\, for most of the past twenty-three years\, and museum goers have made it a top destination. \n\n\n\nThe 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. \n\n\n\nJulia Child’s Kitchen (and this online conversation) is a must‑have for every serious home cook and Julia Child fan. Register now to enter the discussion and learn more about how Julia Child continues to influence food today! \n\n\n\nAbout the Author:  \n\n\n\nPaula J.
