Always remember: If you're alone in the kitchen and you drop the lamb, you can always just pick it up. Who's going to know?
Julia Child
Image
the more experience you have, the more interesting cooking is because you know what can happen to the food. In the beginning you can look at a chicken and it doesn't mean much, but once you have done some cooking you can see in that chicken a parade of things you will be able to create.

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.

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.

There is nothing worse than grilled vegetables.

...no one is born a great cook, one learns by doing.

Just how could a nation often be great if it's bread tastes want Kleenex.

I'm afraid that surprise, shock, and regret is the fate of authors when they finally see themselves on the page.

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 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.

If you're not ready to fail, you're not going to learn how to cook.
