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

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.

Image
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
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
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!

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.

Food like love is a deeply emotional matter.
Julia Child
Image
I think one of the terrible things today is that people have this deathly fear of food: fear of eggs, say, or fear of butter. Most doctors feel that you can have a little bit of everything.
Julia Child
Image
My father was in real estate, banking, and land management. As family life, it was very conventional, happy, and comfortable. We weren't wealthy, but we were well-off.
Julia Child
Image
If you're in a good profession, it's hard to get bored, because you're never finished - there will always be work you haven't done.
Julia Child
Image
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
Image
The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook.
Julia Child
Image
...nothing is too much trouble if it turns out the way it should.
Julia Child
Image
Many of the delicious soups you eat in French homes and little restaurants are made just this way, with a leek-and-potato base to which leftover vegetables or sauces and a few fresh items are added.
Julia Child
Image
I still feel that French cooking is the most important in the world, one of the few that has rules. If you follow the rules, you can do pretty well.
