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!
Julia Child
Image
Sometimes ... it takes me an entire day to write a recipe, to communicate it correctly. It's really like writing a little short story.

If you're buying tomatoes pick them up and smell them-they should have a lovely perfume. They need to be kept at fifty degrees or above, particularly during the growing season, because that's when they develop their flavor.
Julia Child
Image
The only real stumbling block is fear of failure. In cooking you've got to have a what-the-hell attitude.

Any disaster is a learning process.
Julia Child
Image
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.

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

I love to teach - that's my role.
Julia Child
Image
It's so beautifully arranged on the plate - you know someone's fingers have been all over it.
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
Just like becoming an expert in wine, you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford.
Julia Child
Image
Tears mess up your makeup.
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
Some people like to paint pictures, or do gardening, or build a boat in the basement. Other people get a tremendous pleasure out of the kitchen, because cooking is just as creative and imaginative an activity as drawing, or wood carving, or music.
Julia Child
Image
Romance is the icing but love is the cake.
Julia Child
Image
The dinner hour is a sacred, happy time when everyone should be together and relaxed.
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.
