On this episode of Eat My Globe, our host, Simon Majumdar, will be talking to Paula J. Johnson, the Curator and Project Director of The American Food History Project at The Smithsonian National Museum of American History. They will discuss her remarkable book, “Julia Child’s Kitchen: The Design, Tools, Stories and Legacy of an Iconic Space.” Julia’s kitchen is now on display at the Smithsonian and Paula played an important role in bringing it to the museum.

Simon and Paula will also discuss Julia’s love of her kitchen; the workings of Julia’s kitchen; Julia’s love affair with her husband; various guests, like James Beard and Jacques Pepin, who came to see Julia in the kitchen; the development of the kitchen as Julia’s first television set; and more. The kitchen was more than just a workplace for Julia. Paula explains why and why the kitchen now has pride of place in the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.
