The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook.

I love to teach - that's my role.
Julia Child

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.

Image
I don't believe in twisting yourself into knots of excuses and explanations over the food you make.... Usually one's cooking is better than one thinks it is. And if the food is truly vile...then the cook must simply grit her teeth and bear it with a smile.

Noodles are not only amusing but delicious.

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

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.

I never feel lonely in the kitchen. Food is very friendly.

I think anyone who is a carnivore needs to understand that meat does not originally come in these neat little packages.

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.

Fake food -- I mean those patented substances chemically flavored and mechanically bulked out to kill the appetite and deceive the gut -- is unnatural, almost immoral, a bane to good eating and good cooking.

...nothing is too much trouble if it turns out the way it should.
