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
Pro-choice is the only way to be-- because women are human beings, after all, and should be treated as such.
Julia Child
Image
Remember, 'No one's more important than people'! In other words, friendship is the most important thing--not career or housework, or one's fatigue--and it needs to be tended and nurtured.

The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook.
Julia Child

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.

If you don't pick your audience, you're lost because you're not really talking to anybody.

With enough butter, anything is good
Julia Child

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.

A party without cake is really just a meeting.
Julia Child

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

I never feel lonely in the kitchen. Food is very friendly.
