There are only four great arts: music, painting, sculpture, and ornamental pastry- architecture being perhaps the least banal derivative of the latter.
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

You learn to cook so that you don't have to be a slave to recipes. You get what's in season and you know what to do with it.

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.

We hit it off immediately, especially Helene, who was a 'swallow-life-in-big-gulps' kind of person.

When I got to France I realized I didn't know very much about food at all. I'd never had a real cake. I'd had those cakes from cake mixes or the ones that have a lot of baking powder in them. A really good French cake doesn't have anything like that in it - it's all egg power.

Always start out with a larger pot than what you think you need.

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.
