Quote by -Julia Child
“But my favorite remained the basic roast chicken. What a deceptively simple dish. I had come to believe that one can judge the quality of a cook by his or her roast chicken. Above all, it should taste like chicken: it should be so good that even a perfectly simple, buttery roast should be a delight.”
Quote by -Julia Child
“Well, all I know is this—nothing you ever learn is really wasted, and will sometime be used.”
Quote by -Julia Child
“The measure of achievement is not winning awards. It’s doing something that you appreciate, something you believe is worthwhile.”
Quote by -Julia Child
“If you’re in a good profession, it’s hard to get bored, because you’re never finished — there will always be work you haven’t yet done.”
Quote by -Julia Child
“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.”
Quote by -Julia Child
“If everything doesn’t happen quite the way you’d like, it doesn’t make too much difference, because you can fix it.”
Quote by -Julia Child
“Just speak very loudly and quickly, and state your position with utter conviction, as the French do, and you’ll have a marvelous time!”
Quote by -Julia Child
“I had come to the conclusion that I must really be French, only no one had ever informed me of this fact. I loved the people, the food, the lay of the land, the civilized atmosphere, and the generous pace of life.”
Quote by -Julia Child
“I’m not a chef. I think in this country, we use the term very loosely. I’m a cook and a teacher.”
Quote by -Julia Child
“You don’t spring into good cooking naked. You have to have some training. You have to learn how to eat.”
Quote by -Julia Child
“If you don’t pick your audience, you’re lost because you’re not really talking to anybody.”
Quote by -Julia Child
“The more you know, the more you can create. There’s no end to imagination in the kitchen.”
Quote by -Julia Child
“You’ll never know everything about anything, especially something you love.”
Quote by -Julia Child
“See, when I flipped it, I didn’t have the courage to do it the way I should’ve. But you can always pick it up, and if you’re alone in the kitchen, who is going to see? But the only way you learn how to flip things is just to flip them.”
Quote by -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.”
Quote by -Julia Child
“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!”
Quote by -Julia Child
“There are only four great arts: music, painting, sculpture, and ornamental pastry- architecture being perhaps the least banal derivative of the latter.”
Quote by -Julia Child
“Once you have mastered a technique, you barely have to look at a recipe again.”
Quote by -Julia Child
“To be a good cook you have to have a love of the good, a love of hard work, and a love of creating.”
Quote by -Julia Child
“You don’t have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces – just good food from fresh ingredients.”
Quote by -Julia Child
“Maybe the cat has fallen into the stew, or the lettuce has frozen, or the cake has collapsed. Eh bien, tant pis. Usually one’s cooking is better than one thinks it is. And if the food is truly vile, then the cook must simply grit her teeth and bear it with a smile, and learn from her mistakes.”
Quote by -Julia Child
“Drama is very important in life: You have to come on with a bang. You never want to go out with a whimper.”
Quote by -Julia Child
“Nothing is too much trouble if it turns out the way it should. Good results require that one take time and care.”
Quote by -Julia Child
“The service was deft and understated, and the food was spectacular. It was expensive, but, as Paul said, “you are so hypnotized by everything there that you feel grateful as you pay the bill.”
Quote by -Julia Child
“It’s so beautifully arranged on the plate – you know someone’s fingers have been all over it.”
Quote by -Julia Child
“Upon reflection, I decided I had three main weaknesses: I was confused (evidenced by a lack of facts, an inability to coordinate my thoughts, and an inability to verbalize my ideas); I had a lack of confidence, which cause me to back down from forcefully stated positions; and I was overly emotional at the expense of careful, ‘scientific’ though. I was thirty-seven years old and still discovering who I was.”
