...no one is born a great cook, one learns by doing.
Julia Child
Image
I think careful cooking is love, don't you? The loveliest thing you can cook for someone who's close to you is about as nice a valentine as you can give.

Dining with one's friends and beloved family is certainly one of life's primal and most innocent delights, one that is both soul-satisfying and eternal.

I think careful cooking is love, don't you?

Image
...the waiters carried themselves with a quiet joy, as if their entire mission in life was to make their customers feel comfortable and well tended.
Julia Child

I would far prefer to have things happen as they naturally do, such as the mousse refusing to leave the mold, the potatoes sticking to the skillet, the apple charlotte slowly collapsing. One of the secrets of cooking is to learn to correct something if you can, and bear with it if you cannot.

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.

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

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.

How lovely life can be if one takes time to be friendly.

I have trouble with toast. Toast is very difficult. You have to watch it all the time or it burns up.

I'd like for people to be able to go to the universities and get a degree in fine arts-gastronomy.

The secret of a happy marriage is finding the right person. You know they're right if you love to be with them all the time.

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
Image
Everything can have drama if it's done right. Even a pancake.
Julia Child
Image
Sometimes ... it takes me an entire day to write a recipe, to communicate it correctly. It's really like writing a little short story.

Just like becoming an expert in wine, you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford.

This is my invariable advice to people: Learn how to cook- try new recipes, learn from your mistakes, be fearless, and above all have fun!
