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.

More quotes by Julia Child
I love to teach - that's my role.
Julia Child
Some people like to paint pictures, or do gardening, or build a boat in the basement. Other people get a tremendous pleasure out of the kitchen, because cooking is just as creative and imaginative an activity as drawing, or wood carving, or music.
Julia Child
The dinner hour is a sacred, happy time when everyone should be together and relaxed.
Julia Child
Being tall is an advantage, especially in business. People will always remember you. And if you're in a crowd, you'll always have some clean air to breathe.
Julia Child
If you are going to flip something, you must have the courage of your convictions.
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
People who love to eat are always the best people.
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
The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook.
Julia Child
Noodles are not only amusing but delicious.
Julia Child
Never apologize for your cooking.
Julia Child
It's a shame to be caught up in something that doesn't absolutely make you tremble with joy.
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
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
People who are not interested in food always seem rather dry and unloving and don't have a real gusto for life.
Julia Child
Fine # wine is a living liquid ... Its life comprises youth, maturity, old age, and death.
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
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.
Julia Child
...the waiters carried themselves with a quiet joy, as if their entire mission in life was to make their customers feel comfortable and well tended.
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.
