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.

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

The main thing is to have a gutsy approach and use your head.
Julia Child
Image
We hit it off immediately, especially Helene, who was a 'swallow-life-in-big-gulps' kind of person.

Mastering the Art of French Cooking... doesn't mean it has to be fancy cooking, although it can be as elaborate as you wish.
Julia Child
Image
Just like becoming an expert in wine, you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford.
Julia Child
Image
Until I discovered cooking, I was never really interested in anything.
Julia Child

A party without cake is really just a meeting.
Julia Child
Image
Life itself is the proper binge.
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

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.
