I bought my first food processor back in 1976, when I saw some of the
first Cuisinarts being demonstrated in a kitchen store in the DC
suburbs. I was fascinated.
I was just about ready to plonk down money for one of those, when I
saw Julia Child using a food processor in one of her series, Julia
Child and Company.
They were being used quite a bit around the DC area, if I remember. A
few cookbooks even came out about them, one in particular by James
Beard and Carl Jerome. I got a few other food processor cookbooks,
which I still have (all in storage now) and all were published well
before the advent of FoodTV.
I got my second food processor back before FoodTV got started as well,
back in 1988-89. I got one of the 2nd generation Cuisinarts, which I
still have. Still works fine.
