In honor of Julia
Child’s 100th birthday, here are my top 10 favorite quotes of
hers. Many of these are from My Life in France, which, if you
haven’t read, it absolutely must go to the top of your list. Absolutement!
“Life itself is the
proper binge.”
“The best way to
execute French cooking is to get good and loaded and whack the hell out of a
chicken. Bon appétit. ”
“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.”
“Drama is very
important in life: You have to come on with a bang. You never want to go out
with a whimper. Everything can have drama if it's done right. Even a pancake.”
“How can a nation
be called great if its bread tastes like kleenex?”
“Just speak very
loudly and quickly, and state your position with utter conviction, as the
French do, and you'll have a marvelous time!”
“Always start out
with a larger pot than what you think you need.”
“I think every
woman should have a blowtorch.”
"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."
“If you're afraid
of butter, use cream.”
