More quotes by Julia Child
Dining with one's friends and beloved family is certainly one of life's primal and most innocent delights, one that is both soul-satisfying and eternal.
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.
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
If you don't pick your audience, you're lost because you're not really talking to anybody.
Julia Child
You learn to cook so that you don't have to be a slave to recipes. You get what's in season and you know what to do with it.
Julia Child
the more experience you have, the more interesting cooking is because you know what can happen to the food. In the beginning you can look at a chicken and it doesn't mean much, but once you have done some cooking you can see in that chicken a parade of things you will be able to create.
Julia Child
If you're not ready to fail, you're not going to learn how to cook.
Julia Child
You'll never know everything about anything, especially something you love.
Julia Child
If you're in a good profession, it's hard to get bored, because you're never finished - there will always be work you haven't done.
Julia Child
Cooking hasn't yet been accepted as the art form it is. It should be on the level with any of the other art forms.
Julia Child
If you are going to flip something, you must have the courage of your convictions.
Julia Child
I never feel lonely in the kitchen. Food is very friendly.
Julia Child
A party without cake is really just a meeting.
Julia Child
Noodles are not only amusing but delicious.
Julia Child
One of the important requirements for learning how to cook is that you also learn how to eat.
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
When the war broke out I decided I would be very patriotic. Standing my full height. I presented myself to the Wacs and the to the Waves. And I was rejected - I was an inch too tall.
Julia Child
I still feel that French cooking is the most important in the world, one of the few that has rules. If you follow the rules, you can do pretty well.
Julia Child
This is my invariable advice to people: Learn how to cook- try new recipes, learn from your mistakes, be fearless, and above all have fun!
Julia Child
In the 1970s we got nouvelle cuisine, in which a lot of the old rules were kicked over. And then we had cuisine minceur, which people mixed up with nouvelle cuisine but was actually fancy diet cooking.
