You'll never know everything about anything, especially something you love.

People who are not interested in food always seem rather dry and unloving and don't have a real gusto for life.

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 problem for cookery-bookery writers like me is to understand the extent of our readers' experience. I hope have solved that riddle in my books by simply telling everything.

How lovely life can be if one takes time to be friendly.
Julia Child
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.

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.

People who love to eat are always the best people.

It is hard to imagine a civilization without onions.

Sooner or later the public will forget you the memory of you will fade. What's important are the individuals you've influenced along the way.

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