More quotes by Julia Child
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.
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.
Julia Child
People who love to eat are always the best people.
Julia Child
...no one is born a great cook, one learns by doing.
Julia Child
In department stores, so much kitchen equipment is bought indiscriminately by people who just come in for men's underwear.

Julia Child
Anything that says 'healthy' I say away from... Giving up butter, for instance, means that in about two years you will be covered in dandruff.
Julia Child
I love to teach - that's my role.
Julia Child
Drama is very important in life: You have to come on with a bang. You never want to go out with a whimper. Everything can have drama if it's done right. Even a pancake.
Julia Child
Food like love is a deeply emotional matter.
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.
