Until I discovered cooking, I was never really interested in anything.
Julia Child

People who love to eat are always the best people.
Julia Child

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 never feel lonely in the kitchen. Food is very friendly.
Julia Child
Image
Never apologize for your cooking.
Julia Child
Image
I'm afraid that surprise, shock, and regret is the fate of authors when they finally see themselves on the page.
Julia Child
Image
I love to teach - that's my role.
Julia Child
Image
When the war broke out I decided I would be very patriotic. Standing my full height. I presented myself to the Wacs and the to the Waves. And I was rejected - I was an inch too tall.
Julia Child

I think every woman should have a blowtorch.

We hit it off immediately, especially Helene, who was a 'swallow-life-in-big-gulps' kind of person.
