Julia Child
I was thirty-seven years old and still discovering who I was.
Julia Child
Cooking is one failure after another, and that's how you finally learn.
Julia Child
Just how could a nation often be great if it's bread tastes want Kleenex.
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
It's so beautifully arranged on the plate - you know someone's fingers have been all over it.
Julia Child
It is the Americans who have managed to crown minced beef as hamburger, and to send it round the world so that even the fussy French have taken to le boeuf hache, le hambourgaire.
