She was my first cat ever, and I thought she was marvelous.
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.
Julia Child
Image
I think one of the terrible things today is that people have this deathly fear of food: fear of eggs, say, or fear of butter. Most doctors feel that you can have a little bit of everything.
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
People were hysterical about Communism the way people today are hysterical about flag burning. I'm really against these people who try to show that they're great patriots, because they're not thinking, they're just being hysterical.

The main thing is to have a gutsy approach and use your head.

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

Always start out with a larger pot than what you think you need.
Julia Child
Image
We hit it off immediately, especially Helene, who was a 'swallow-life-in-big-gulps' kind of person.
Julia Child
Image
Never apologize for your cooking.
Julia Child
Image
I love to teach - that's my role.
Julia Child
Image
I love good, fresh food cooked by someone who knows what he's doing.
Julia Child
Image
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. The experienced cook will know to skip through the verbiage, but the explanations will be there for those who still need them.

If you don't pick your audience, you're lost because you're not really talking to anybody.
Julia Child
Image
The secret of a happy marriage is finding the right person. You know they're right if you love to be with them all the time.
Julia Child
Image
The tomato hides its griefs. Internal damage is hard to spot.
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.
