More quotes by Julia Child
Too much trouble,' 'Too expensive,' or 'Who will know the difference' are death knells for good food. ... Cooking is not a particularly difficult art, and the more you cook and learn about cooking, the more sense it makes.
Julia Child
People who love to eat are always the best people.
Julia Child
The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook.

We hit it off immediately, especially Helene, who was a 'swallow-life-in-big-gulps' kind of person.

I think careful cooking is love, don't you? The loveliest thing you can cook for someone who's close to you is about as nice a valentine as you can give.
Julia Child
Fat gives things flavor.

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
Cooking is one failure after another, and that's how you finally learn.
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
Wine is meant to be with food - that's the point of it.
Julia Child
The egg can be your best friend if you just give it the right break
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
Noodles are not only amusing but delicious.
