More quotes by Julia Child
It's a shame to be caught up in something that doesn't absolutely make you tremble with joy.
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
Cooking is one failure after another, and that's how you finally learn.
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
I was thirty-seven years old and still discovering who I was.
Julia Child
A house without a cat is like a day without sunshine, a pie without fromage, a dinner without wine.
Julia Child
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
The dinner hour is a sacred, happy time when everyone should be together and relaxed.
Julia Child
If you're not ready to fail, you're not going to learn how to cook.
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.
Julia Child
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.
Julia Child
Cooking hasn't yet been accepted as the art form it is. It should be on the level with any of the other art forms.
Julia Child
In the 1970s we got nouvelle cuisine, in which a lot of the old rules were kicked over. And then we had cuisine minceur, which people mixed up with nouvelle cuisine but was actually fancy diet cooking.
Julia Child
The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook.
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
Just speak very loudly and quickly, and state your position with utter conviction, as the French do, and you'll have a marvelous time!
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
In my generation, except for a few people who'd gone into banking or nursing or something like that, middle-class women didn't have careers. You were to marry and have children and be a nice mother. You didn't go out and do anything. I found that I got restless.
Julia Child
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
Wine is a living liquid containing no preservatives. Its life cycle comprises youth, maturity, old age, and death. When not treated with reasonable respect it will sicken and die.
