Julia Child’s Cambridge, MA house (103 Irving Street) was donated to Smith College, her alma mater, and most of her kitchen went to the Smithsonian, but her copper pots & pans, along with their pegboard, went to the restaurant at Copia. Called “The American Center for Wine, Food & the Arts”, Copia opens this weekend. Julia has moved to a retirement community in Montecito, CA. She’s only taking a few cherished items from her Cambridge kitchen (sterling sugar bowl, wooden peppermill, marble egg cup for storing coarse salt), but she has her California kitchen already furnished with her basic necessities like good knives. She claims that she never grew to be a New Englander like her husband was, and is happy to be returning to her home state. I think I know how she feels, but my locales would be reversed.
