More quotes by Julia Child
One of the important requirements for learning how to cook is that you also learn how to eat.
Julia Child
Tears mess up your makeup.
Julia Child
The problem for cookery-bookery writers like me is to understand the extent of our readers' experience. I hope have solved that riddle in my books by simply telling everything. The experienced cook will know to skip through the verbiage, but the explanations will be there for those who still need them.
Julia Child
Everything can have drama if it's done right. Even a pancake.
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
Just how could a nation often be great if it's bread tastes want Kleenex.
Julia Child
In France, cooking is a serious art form and a national sport.
Julia Child
Until I discovered cooking, I was never really interested in anything.
Julia Child
If you're afraid of butter, use cream.
Julia Child
No one's more important than people.
Julia Child
Cooking well doesn't mean cooking fancy.
Julia Child
The only real stumbling block is fear of failure. In cooking you've got to have a what-the-hell attitude.
Julia Child
I think one of the terrible things today is that people have this deathly fear of food: fear of eggs, say, or fear of butter. Most doctors feel that you can have a little bit of everything.
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
Many of the delicious soups you eat in French homes and little restaurants are made just this way, with a leek-and-potato base to which leftover vegetables or sauces and a few fresh items are added.
Julia Child
Food like love is a deeply emotional matter.
Julia Child
Fake food -- I mean those patented substances chemically flavored and mechanically bulked out to kill the appetite and deceive the gut -- is unnatural, almost immoral, a bane to good eating and good cooking.
Julia Child
I don't believe in twisting yourself into knots of excuses and explanations over the food you make.... Usually one's cooking is better than one thinks it is. And if the food is truly vile...then the cook must simply grit her teeth and bear it with a smile.
Julia Child
I found that the recipes in most - in all - the books I had were really not adequate. They didn't tell you enough... I won't do anything unless I'm told why I'm doing it. So I felt that we needed fuller explanations so that if you followed one of those recipes, it should turn out exactly right.
Julia Child
You'll never know everything about anything, especially something you love.
