Julia Child

Julia Child
No one's more important than people.

Just like becoming an expert in wine, you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford.
Julia Child
Sometimes ... it takes me an entire day to write a recipe, to communicate it correctly. It's really like writing a little short story.
Julia Child
I still feel that French cooking is the most important in the world, one of the few that has rules. If you follow the rules, you can do pretty well.
Julia Child
I was thirty-seven years old and still discovering who I was.
