People Who Love to Eat Are Always the Best People by Julia Child

Perfect for home cooks, Julia fans, and anyone who simply loves to eat and drink-a delightful collection of the beloved chef and bestselling author's words of wisdom on love, life, and, of course, food.

"If you're afraid of butter, use cream." So decrees Julia Child, the legendary culinary authority and cookbook author who taught America how to cook-and how to eat. This delightful volume of quotations compiles some of Julia's most memorable lines on eating-"The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook"-on drinking, on life-"I think every woman should have a blowtorch"-on love, travel, France, and much more.

Julia Child was born in the city of Pasadena in the state of California. She attended Smith College and worked for the OSS during WWII; after that, she moved in Paris, studied at the Cordon Bleu, and taught cooking alongside Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle, with whom she co-wrote Mastering the Art of French Cooking (1961). Julia Child became a national star after WGBH in Boston launched The French Chef television series in 1963, garnering her a Peabody Award in 1965 and an Emmy in 1966. Following that, there were other public television series and a slew of cookbooks. She passed away in 2004.

Simone (Simca) Beck was born in the Normandy town of Tocqueville en Caux in 1904. In 1933, she enrolled in the Cordon Bleu, the world's most prestigious culinary school at the time. On her husband's advice, they began looking for an American to assist them in 1951, and a friend introduced Simca to Julia Child, who was studying cookery in Paris at the time.

She passed away in 1991.
