Just heard one attributed to Ruth Reichl that I kind of like:

"Anyone who thinks they're too grown up or too sophisticated to eat caramel corn is not invited to my house for dinner. "

Ever wonder about those people who spend $2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward

Buddy Hackett once said "My mother's menu consisted of two choices: Take it or leave it."
(Bet he got that from my mom!)

“I can't cook. I use a smoke alarm as a timer.”
Carol Siskind, American Comedianne.

Always remember: If you're alone in the kitchen and you drop the lamb, you can always just pick it up. Who's going to know? Julia Child

I think every woman should have a blowtorch. -Julia Child

The best way to execute French cooking is to get good and loaded and whack the **** out of a chicken. Bon appétit. -Julia Child

Dieting got really big in the '60s, when fashion models were very thin. They weren't always, you know! Now we're eating all this fat-free, fake stuff, and we're getting fat anyway because we're not satisfied. -Julia Child

If you’re afraid of butter, just use cream. -Julia Child

Personally, I don't think pure vegetarianism is a healthy lifestyle. I've often wondered to myself: Does a vegetarian look forward to dinner, ever? -Julia Child
