Julie & Julia cooking lessons
Child was immortalised on film by Academy Award-winning actress Meryl Streep, in the biographical film Julie & Julia.
The film was written by the late Nora Ephron and stars Amy Adams as food blogger Julie Powell who cooks her way through the entire book.
The house has barely been touched since 1992, when Kathie Alex took over the home and preserved it as a museum and cooking school.
It’s been cared for to such a degree that some of the kitchen storages jars still have Julia’s own labels on them.
