I never feel lonely in the kitchen. Food is very friendly.
Julia Child
Image
...no one is born a great cook, one learns by doing.
Julia Child

Just like becoming an expert in wine, you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford.

I think the inner person is the most important.... I would like to see an invention that keeps the mind alert. That's what is important.
Julia Child

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.
Julia Child

Remember, 'No one's more important than people'! In other words, friendship is the most important thing--not career or housework, or one's fatigue--and it needs to be tended and nurtured.

the more experience you have, the more interesting cooking is because you know what can happen to the food. In the beginning you can look at a chicken and it doesn't mean much, but once you have done some cooking you can see in that chicken a parade of things you will be able to create.

The only real stumbling block is fear of failure. In cooking you've got to have a what-the-hell attitude.

I was thirty-seven years old and still discovering who I was.

A party without cake is really just a meeting.
Julia Child

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

Eating is the secret to good cooking.

My mother was independent. She had grown up in Dalton and Pittsfield, in western Massachusetts, and she was one of the first women drivers in that area.

Image
I think careful cooking is love, don't you? The loveliest thing you can cook for someone who's close to you is about as nice a valentine as you can give.
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.

I would far prefer to have things happen as they naturally do, such as the mousse refusing to leave the mold, the potatoes sticking to the skillet, the apple charlotte slowly collapsing. One of the secrets of cooking is to learn to correct something if you can, and bear with it if you cannot.
