You could say that Julia Child has the right mood for food. Her vision that brought French cooking to America, her joie de vivre with everything Frenchy continues to be celebrated even today, in 2012, a year that would have been her 100th birthday. Bon Anniversaire Julia (Happy Birthday Julia) and Bon Appétit!
To toast to moving into 2013 here are some of Julia Child’s most famous quotes.
But first, please let me wish you all a Happy New Year and a healthy and happy 2013.
Julia Child quotes to celebrate the New Year
Life itself is the proper binge.
And on New Year’s Eve let’s celebrate life even more!
Everything in moderation, including moderation. (Champagne doesn’t come under the moderation category. French open lots of champagne on New Year’s Eve, will you do the same?)
I think every woman should have a blowtorch.
To make a proper crème brûlée a blowtorch is a necessary kitchen tool.
I enjoy cooking with wine, sometimes I even put it in the food I’m cooking.
(I love this ‘rule’ and you?)
You can have some butter, you can have some olive oil. It all comes down to moderation, variety, exercise and use your head.
Great advice for a healthy joie de vivre.
Fat gives things flavor.
Taste is enhanced with a bit of fat. My mantra.
The only time to eat diet food is while you’re waiting for waiting the steak to cook.
Is there such a thing as diet food? Not on New Year’s Eve.
Happy New Year from BrightonYourHealth!
Here is a toast to you that 2013 is your best year yet.
Best to you and yours,
Mary
