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
If you're not ready to fail, you're not going to learn how to cook.
Julia Child
Image
We ought to enjoy our food, we ought to take time and care and prepare it correctly, and we ought to have fun doing it and make it a communal event.
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.
Julia Child
Image

Julia Child
Image

Image
Everything can have drama if it's done right. Even a pancake.
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
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.
Julia Child
Image
Cooking well doesn't mean cooking fancy.
Julia Child
Image
I don't think about whether people will remember me or not. I've been an ok person. I've learned a lot. I've taught people a thing or two. That's what's important.
Julia Child
Image
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.

How lovely life can be if one takes time to be friendly.
Julia Child
Image
...nothing is too much trouble if it turns out the way it should.
Julia Child
Image
My mother was independent. She had grown up in Dalton and Pittsfield, in western Massachusetts, and she was one of the first women drivers in that area.

Pro-choice is the only way to be-- because women are human beings, after all, and should be treated as such.

Tears mess up your makeup.

There is nothing worse than grilled vegetables.
