...no one is born a great cook, one learns by doing.
Julia Child
...the waiters carried themselves with a quiet joy, as if their entire mission in life was to make their customers feel comfortable and well tended.
Julia Child
...nothing is too much trouble if it turns out the way it should.
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
The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook.
Julia Child
I don't think about whether people will remember me or not. I've been an ok person. I've learned a lot. I've taught people a thing or two. That's what's important.
Julia Child
People who love to eat are always the best people.
Julia Child
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.
Julia Child
It is hard to imagine a civilization without onions.
Julia Child
If you don't pick your audience, you're lost because you're not really talking to anybody.
Julia Child
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.

With enough butter, anything is good
Julia Child
Some people like to paint pictures, or do gardening, or build a boat in the basement. Other people get a tremendous pleasure out of the kitchen, because cooking is just as creative and imaginative an activity as drawing, or wood carving, or music.
Julia Child
It's a shame to be caught up in something that doesn't absolutely make you tremble with joy.
Julia Child
Cooking is one failure after another, and that's how you finally learn.
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
Just like becoming an expert in wine, you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford.
Julia Child
Life itself is the proper binge.
Julia Child
If you're afraid of butter, use cream.
Julia Child
Romance is the icing but love is the cake.
