Life itself is the proper binge.
Julia Child
Image
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.

I was 32 when I started cooking up until then, I just ate.
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
How lovely life can be if one takes time to be friendly.
Julia Child

I never feel lonely in the kitchen. Food is very friendly.

She was my first cat ever, and I thought she was marvelous.

Cooking well doesn't mean cooking fancy.

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.

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.

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.

Pro-choice is the only way to be-- because women are human beings, after all, and should be treated as such.
Julia Child
Image
I think careful cooking is love, don't you? The loveliest thing you can cook for someone who's close to you is about as nice a valentine as you can give.
Julia Child
Image
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.

Image
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.

The only real stumbling block is fear of failure. In cooking you've got to have a what-the-hell attitude.
Julia Child
Image
Just speak very loudly and quickly, and state your position with utter conviction, as the French do, and you'll have a marvelous time!

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.

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.

I'd like for people to be able to go to the universities and get a degree in fine arts-gastronomy.
