More quotes by Julia Child

Julia Child
I think anyone who is a carnivore needs to understand that meat does not originally come in these neat little packages.
Julia Child
When the war broke out I decided I would be very patriotic. Standing my full height. I presented myself to the Wacs and the to the Waves. And I was rejected - I was an inch too tall.
Julia Child
It's a shame to be caught up in something that doesn't absolutely make you tremble with joy.
Julia Child
In department stores, so much kitchen equipment is bought indiscriminately by people who just come in for men's underwear.
Julia Child
One of the secrets, and pleasures, of cooking is to learn to correct something if it goes awry and one of the lessons is to grin and bear it if it cannot be fixed.
Julia Child
A party without cake is really just a meeting.
Julia Child
