More quotes by Julia Child
Some people like to paint pictures, or do gardening, or build a boat in the basement. Other people get a tremendous pleasure out of the kitchen, because cooking is just as creative and imaginative an activity as drawing, or wood carving, or music.
Julia Child
...no one is born a great cook, one learns by doing.
Julia Child
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.
Julia Child
I’m awfully sorry for people who are taken in by all of today’s dietary mumbo jumbo. They are not getting any enjoyment out of their food.
Julia Child
The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook.
Julia Child
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.
Julia Child
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
There is nothing worse than grilled vegetables.
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
I'm afraid that surprise, shock, and regret is the fate of authors when they finally see themselves on the page.
Julia Child
Pro-choice is the only way to be-- because women are human beings, after all, and should be treated as such.
Julia Child
Sometimes ... it takes me an entire day to write a recipe, to communicate it correctly. It's really like writing a little short story.
Julia Child
I was thirty-seven years old and still discovering who I was.
Julia Child
Any disaster is a learning process.
Julia Child
She was my first cat ever, and I thought she was marvelous.
Julia Child
Fine # wine is a living liquid ... Its life comprises youth, maturity, old age, and death.
Julia Child
Romance is the icing but love is the cake.
Julia Child
People who are not interested in food always seem rather dry and unloving and don't have a real gusto for life.
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
I never feel lonely in the kitchen. Food is very friendly.
Julia Child
