Gift link from NYT on the History of the American Kitchen.
Yes, I did notice that they didn’t correctly fact-check the item about Julia Child’s kitchen–the French Chef shows were not filmed in her home kitchen with the gas range and pegboard walls.

That was an interesting read, thanks for sharing, but if they didn’t fact-check Julia Child, what else did it get wrong? Or as I am wont to say, “didn’t we used to have editors???”

Thanks for the link, nice read. They might have also failed on fact checking Julia Child’s cookware, specifically Le Creuset. I don’t doubt she used LC but it’s known she preferred Descoware dutch ovens. Yes, small potatoes but it’s the NY Times.
