Julia Child Recipe Series from the Smithsonian

To celebrate Julia Child’s wall of copper pots joining the collections of the National Museum of American History, we’re taking Julia's philosophy to heart. Inspired by her admonitions to take to our kitchens, to muster the courage to try cooking something new, and to discover the pleasures of the table, members of the Museum staff decided to cook some of her key recipes ourselves.

We followed Julia’s detailed instructions and reminded ourselves of her masterful teaching style and her enthusiasm for the tools and techniques of cooking. Along the way we featured specific tools and gadgets in Julia's home kitchen, which has been on view at the museum since 2002, and, true to her philosophy, we shared our experiences in this space. We invite you to join with us in this celebration of Julia Child's life, work, and contributions to American culinary history.
