\nphotography … \u00a0After the war, the Childs\u00a0lived in France and Germany for Paul\u2019s postings with the U.S. Foreign Service, where Paul pursued his\u00a0passion for taking photos in his off-hours while Julia famously began her culinary journey.

\niconic chef and a fascinating American couple.
