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

I love to teach - that's my role.
Julia Child

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.

My father was in real estate, banking, and land management. As family life, it was very conventional, happy, and comfortable. We weren't wealthy, but we were well-off.

When I got to France I realized I didn't know very much about food at all. I'd never had a real cake. I'd had those cakes from cake mixes or the ones that have a lot of baking powder in them. A really good French cake doesn't have anything like that in it - it's all egg power.

This is my invariable advice to people: Learn how to cook- try new recipes, learn from your mistakes, be fearless, and above all have fun!
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
Everything can have drama if it's done right. Even a pancake.
Julia Child
Image
I’m awfully sorry for people who are taken in by all of today’s dietary mumbo jumbo. They are not getting any enjoyment out of their food.
Julia Child
Image
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.

Life itself is the proper binge.

As we say in the American Institute of Wine and Food, small helpings, no seconds. A little bit of everything. No snacking. And have a good time.

The egg can be your best friend if you just give it the right break

Food like love is a deeply emotional matter.

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.

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