...no one is born a great cook, one learns by doing.

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

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.

I have trouble with toast. Toast is very difficult. You have to watch it all the time or it burns up.
Julia Child
Image
People who are not interested in food always seem rather dry and unloving and don't have a real gusto for life.

Everything can have drama if it's done right. Even a pancake.

A party without cake is really just a meeting.
