Romance is the icing but love is the cake.
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.

Never apologize for your cooking.
Julia Child

I have trouble with toast. Toast is very difficult. You have to watch it all the time or it burns up.
Julia Child

It's a shame to be caught up in something that doesn't absolutely make you tremble with joy.

Everything can have drama if it's done right. Even a pancake.

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
Image
The dinner hour is a sacred, happy time when everyone should be together and relaxed.
Julia Child
Image
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
Image
The secret of a happy marriage is finding the right person. You know they're right if you love to be with them all the time.
Julia Child
Image
The only real stumbling block is fear of failure. In cooking you've got to have a what-the-hell attitude.
Julia Child

Noodles are not only amusing but delicious.

I don't use the word gourmet. The word doesn't mean anything anymore. 'Gourmet' makes it sound like someone is putting sherry wine in the corn-flake casserole.
