Try finding a voice more iconic than Julia Child’s (minus Morgan Freeman). The American chef, author and TV personality is known for bringing French cooking techniques to the American public through her relatable sense of humor and charming wit. Child’s debut cookbook titled “Mastering The Art Of French Cooking” encouraged home cooks to bring French cuisine to their dinner table. The culinary icon’s bravery and bluntness taught anyone with an interest in cooking how to tackle every recipe with guts and a good appetite. Oh, and she taught us to use butter. Lots and lots of butter. Here are nine Julia Child quotes that’ll inspire your inner chef.
