"Julia Child achieved great success as the host of several popular cooking shows and built a cooking empire while staying true to her unpretentious cooking style and straightforward techniques. Child's kitchen design is as inspiring as her culinary successes, as it features simple organization methods that prioritize efficiency over style. Child herself told friends that she didn't like modern, minimalist, or sleek kitchen design trends and preferred a kitchen that was functional and well-used, even if it looked cluttered."
"According to a 2016 Julia Child book, Child rarely used the grill top on her restaurant-style Garland gas range. Pamela Heyne and Jim Scherer, authors of "In Julia's Kitchen: Practical and Convivial Kitchen Design Inspired by Julia Child," write that the stove was purchased from a friend and was one of Child's favorite parts of her kitchen. Yet Child felt no need to use the grill top, and almost always kept it covered so that she could use the space for cooking utensils and pans."
Julia Child built a career and cooking empire while keeping an unpretentious cooking style and straightforward techniques. Her kitchen prioritized simple organization and practical efficiency over modern or minimalist aesthetics. The kitchen included pegboards for pots and pans, butcher block counters, and a large table used as a food-prep workspace. Child and her team spent long hours there developing and perfecting recipes. Child rarely used the grill top on her restaurant-style Garland gas range and usually kept it covered to store cooking utensils and pans. A grill top is a flat metal or cast-iron surface heated from underneath, unlike griddles placed over burners or electric units.
