More quotes by Julia Child
People were hysterical about Communism the way people today are hysterical about flag burning. I'm really against these people who try to show that they're great patriots, because they're not thinking, they're just being hysterical.
Julia Child
Eating is the secret to good cooking.
Julia Child
I would far prefer to have things happen as they naturally do, such as the mousse refusing to leave the mold, the potatoes sticking to the skillet, the apple charlotte slowly collapsing. One of the secrets of cooking is to learn to correct something if you can, and bear with it if you cannot.
Julia Child
Until I discovered cooking, I was never really interested in anything.
Julia Child
Romance is the icing but love is the cake.
Julia Child
I think every woman should have a blowtorch.
Julia Child
Drama is very important in life: You have to come on with a bang. You never want to go out with a whimper. Everything can have drama if it's done right. Even a pancake.
Julia Child
When I got to France I realized I didn't know very much about food at all. I'd never had a real cake. I'd had those cakes from cake mixes or the ones that have a lot of baking powder in them. A really good French cake doesn't have anything like that in it - it's all egg power.
Julia Child
Anything that says 'healthy' I say away from... Giving up butter, for instance, means that in about two years you will be covered in dandruff.
Julia Child
I think careful cooking is love, don't you?
Julia Child
Tears mess up your makeup.
Julia Child
Wine is a living liquid containing no preservatives. Its life cycle comprises youth, maturity, old age, and death. When not treated with reasonable respect it will sicken and die.
Julia Child
I don't think about whether people will remember me or not. I've been an ok person. I've learned a lot. I've taught people a thing or two. That's what's important.
Julia Child
Life itself is the proper binge.
Julia Child
I was 32 when I started cooking up until then, I just ate.
Julia Child
Just speak very loudly and quickly, and state your position with utter conviction, as the French do, and you'll have a marvelous time!
Julia Child
As we say in the American Institute of Wine and Food, small helpings, no seconds. A little bit of everything. No snacking. And have a good time.
Julia Child
My mother was independent. She had grown up in Dalton and Pittsfield, in western Massachusetts, and she was one of the first women drivers in that area.
Julia Child
Remember, 'No one's more important than people'! In other words, friendship is the most important thing--not career or housework, or one's fatigue--and it needs to be tended and nurtured.
Julia Child
In my generation, except for a few people who'd gone into banking or nursing or something like that, middle-class women didn't have careers. You were to marry and have children and be a nice mother. You didn't go out and do anything. I found that I got restless.
