More quotes by Julia Child
Tears mess up your makeup.
Julia Child
The American poultry industry had made it possible to grow a fine-looking fryer in record time and sell it at a reasonable price, but no one mentioned that the result usually tasted like the stuffing inside of a teddy bear.
Julia Child
It's a shame to be caught up in something that doesn't absolutely make you tremble with joy.
Julia Child
How lovely life can be if one takes time to be friendly.
Julia Child
There is nothing worse than grilled vegetables.
Julia Child
I'd like for people to be able to go to the universities and get a degree in fine arts-gastronomy.
Julia Child
Noodles are not only amusing but delicious.
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
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
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
A passionate interest in what you do is the secret of enjoying life...whether it is helping old people or children, or making cheese or growing earthworms.
Julia Child
I think the inner person is the most important.... I would like to see an invention that keeps the mind alert. That's what is important.
Julia Child
I think every woman should have a blowtorch.
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
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
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
...nothing is too much trouble if it turns out the way it should.
Julia Child
I’m awfully sorry for people who are taken in by all of today’s dietary mumbo jumbo. They are not getting any enjoyment out of their food.
Julia Child
The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook.
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.
