I think careful cooking is love, don't you?
Julia Child
Image
Too much trouble,' 'Too expensive,' or 'Who will know the difference' are death knells for good food. ... Cooking is not a particularly difficult art, and the more you cook and learn about cooking, the more sense it makes.

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

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.

If you're not ready to fail, you're not going to learn how to cook.
Julia Child
Image
I don't think about whether people will remember me or not. I've been an ok person. I've learned a lot. I've taught people a thing or two. That's what's important.
Julia Child
Image
Always start out with a larger pot than what you think you need.
Julia Child
Image
Romance is the icing but love is the cake.
Julia Child
Image
We hit it off immediately, especially Helene, who was a 'swallow-life-in-big-gulps' kind of person.
Julia Child

Forget the cheap white wine: go to beef and gin!
Julia Child
Image
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.

Drama is very important in life: You have to come on with a bang. You never want to go out with a whimper. Everything can have drama if it's done right. Even a pancake.

People who love to eat are always the best people.
