“The cooking was invigorating, joyous. For Julia, the cooking fulfilled the promises that Le Cordon Bleu had made but never kept. Where Le Cordon Bleu always remained rooted in the dogma of French cuisine, Julia strove to infuse its rigors with new possibilities and pleasures.

― Bob Spitz, Dearie: The Remarkable Life of Julia Child

“It's enough for me to be sure that you and I exist at this moment.”
