Noodles are not only amusing but delicious.

The main thing is to have a gutsy approach and use your head.
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.

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.

A house without a cat is like a day without sunshine, a pie without fromage, a dinner without wine.

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.

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!

We had a happy marriage because we were together all the time. We were friends as well as husband and wife. We just had a good time.

As we say in the American Institute of Wine and Food, small helpings, no seconds. A little bit of everything. No snacking. And have a good time.

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.

Romance is the icing but love is the cake.

Cooking is one failure after another, and that's how you finally learn.

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.

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.

The tomato hides its griefs. Internal damage is hard to spot.
