More quotes by Julia Child
With enough butter, anything is good
Julia Child
In France, cooking is a serious art form and a national sport.
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
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.
Julia Child
In my generation, except for a few people who'd gone into banking or nursing or something like that, middle-class women didn't have careers. You were to marry and have children and be a nice mother. You didn't go out and do anything. I found that I got restless.
Julia Child
I think careful cooking is love, don't you?
Julia Child
I love to teach - that's my role.
Julia Child
Pro-choice is the only way to be-- because women are human beings, after all, and should be treated as such.
Julia Child
It is hard to imagine a civilization without onions.
Julia Child
Too much trouble, Too expensive, or Who will know the difference are death knells for good food.
Julia Child
Life itself is the proper binge.
Julia Child
If you're afraid of butter, use cream.
Julia Child
I don't use the word gourmet. The word doesn't mean anything anymore. 'Gourmet' makes it sound like someone is putting sherry wine in the corn-flake casserole.
Julia Child
I have trouble with toast. Toast is very difficult. You have to watch it all the time or it burns up.
Julia Child
Remember, 'No one's more important than people'! In other words, friendship is the most important thing--not career or housework, or one's fatigue--and it needs to be tended and nurtured.
Julia Child
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
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
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
Always start out with a larger pot than what you think you need.
Julia Child
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
