In spite of food fads, fitness programs, and health concerns, we must never lose sight of a beautifully conceived meal.
Julia Child
Image
I love good, fresh food cooked by someone who knows what he's doing.
Julia Child
Image
You learn to cook so that you don't have to be a slave to recipes. You get what's in season and you know what to do with it.
Julia Child

Many of the delicious soups you eat in French homes and little restaurants are made just this way, with a leek-and-potato base to which leftover vegetables or sauces and a few fresh items are added.
Julia Child
Image
I would far prefer to have things happen as they naturally do, such as the mousse refusing to leave the mold, the potatoes sticking to the skillet, the apple charlotte slowly collapsing. One of the secrets of cooking is to learn to correct something if you can, and bear with it if you cannot.

Julia Child
Image
Dining with one's friends and beloved family is certainly one of life's primal and most innocent delights, one that is both soul-satisfying and eternal.
Julia Child
Image
One of the important requirements for learning how to cook is that you also learn how to eat.
Julia Child
Image
Always start out with a larger pot than what you think you need.
Julia Child
Image
In the 1970s we got nouvelle cuisine, in which a lot of the old rules were kicked over. And then we had cuisine minceur, which people mixed up with nouvelle cuisine but was actually fancy diet cooking.
Julia Child
Image
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.
Julia Child
Image
Fat gives things flavor.
Julia Child
Image
Being tall is an advantage, especially in business. People will always remember you. And if you're in a crowd, you'll always have some clean air to breathe.
Julia Child
Image
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.

Image
Eating is the secret to good cooking.
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.

I was thirty-seven years old and still discovering who I was.
