What's Cooking? documents the nearly year-long process of acquiring and processing the contents of Julia Child's kitchen. From its huge cabinets to the smallest vegetable peeler, the kitchen comprises more than 1,200 individual items, and many people were needed to make sure that all the parts and pieces were properly documented and handled.
