She was my first cat ever, and I thought she was marvelous.
Julia Child
Image
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.

If you're buying tomatoes pick them up and smell them-they should have a lovely perfume. They need to be kept at fifty degrees or above, particularly during the growing season, because that's when they develop their flavor.

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.

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.

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.

Cooking well doesn't mean cooking fancy.
Julia Child
Image
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.

Image
Romance is the icing but love is the cake.
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
Image
One of the secrets, and pleasures, of cooking is to learn to correct something if it goes awry and one of the lessons is to grin and bear it if it cannot be fixed.
Julia Child
Image
Many of the delicious soups you eat in French homes and little restaurants are made just this way, with a leek-and-potato base to which leftover vegetables or sauces and a few fresh items are added.

Tears mess up your makeup.
Julia Child
Image
It's so beautifully arranged on the plate - you know someone's fingers have been all over it.
Julia Child
Image
If you're in a good profession, it's hard to get bored, because you're never finished - there will always be work you haven't done.
Julia Child
Image
There are only four great arts: music, painting, sculpture, and ornamental pastry- architecture being perhaps the least banal derivative of the latter.

Forget the cheap white wine: go to beef and gin!

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