I find it wonderfully fascinating how so many people have been able to connect with Julia Child either as a person and/or as a iconic public personality on so many different levels - through her shows, cookbooks, the display of her kitchen at the NMAH, or her memoirs. Food really does have a way of bringing us all together I guess ;) I will definitely follow your suggestions Katherine and Irina, and check out "My Life in France."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08064552626355462893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279702635216618752.post-55626680738679390152014-01-20T20:07:11.812-05:002014-01-20T20:07:11.812-05:00Lovely post, Brittney!

Although I didn't get to take the tour of the FOOD exhibit with Paula Johnson while in Washington, I did visit the exhibit on my own time, and was quite in awe of Julia's kitchen. I can't imagine having that many pots and pans in one kitchen - it is so wonderful to think that each probably served a very special purpose, and reminds me how I have things in my kitchen that I keep around just for a specific purpose or dish. I wonder if it was difficult for her to part with kitchen tools that she had used for so long.<br /><br />Maybe once I graduate (and finally have time to read for pleasure), I will pick up Julia's memoir - sounds like a great read!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897042873873341800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279702635216618752.post-47818224562327126182014-01-20T17:57:58.029-05:002014-01-20T17:57:58.029-05:00There is no better way to start the week than by r...There is no better way to start the week than by reminiscing of things and places inspired by Julia Child. I second Katherine's suggestion for Julia's memoir - and one day I will find a way to integrate this in my syllabus. When I was teaching at Carleton University, my Communication students read the Hunger Games! MMSt students, beware :) and great post, Brittney!

For those who are interested in Julia Child's life and work, I wholeheartedly recommend her memoir *My Life in France.* It is one of the most joyful and adventurous memoirs I have ever read. A great pairing (if you will) with the trip to the exhibit. Katherine Hannemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324623835739965297noreply@blogger.com
