(I have organized them by name and as always, this will be an ongoing list.)
Julia Child
No one is born a great cook, one learns by doing.
Non-cooks think it’s silly to invest two hours’ work in two minutes’ enjoyment; but if cooking is evanescent, so is the ballet.
A party without cake is really just a meeting.
If you’re afraid of butter, use cream.
Fat gives things flavor.
You have to eat to cook. You can’t be a good cook and be a non-eater. I think eating is the secret to good cooking.
There are only four great arts: music, painting, sculpture, and ornamental pastry.
It’s all theory until you see for yourself whether or not something works.
One of the secrets of cooking is to learn to correct something if you can, and bear with it if you cannot.
Life itself is the proper binge.
Everything in moderation… including moderation.
How can a nation be called great if its bread tastes like Kleenex?
Every woman should have a blowtorch.
The only time to eat diet food is while you’re waiting for the steak to cook.
Find something you’re passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it.
James Beard
Food is our common ground, a universal experience.
I believe that if ever I had to practice cannibalism, I might manage if there were enough tarragon around.
I’m going to break one of the rules of the trade here. I’m going to tell you some of the secrets of improvisation. Just remember—it’s always a good idea to follow the directions exactly the first time you try a recipe. But from then on, you’re on your own.
The only thing that will make a souffle fall is if it knows you're afraid of it.
Be simple. Be honest. Don't overcook and don't undercook, but it's better to undercook than overcook.
Ina Garten
Creme Brûlée is the ultimate guys' dessert. Make it and he'll follow you anywhere.
People have more fun if they don't eat so much they have to be taken home in an ambulance.
The dirty little secret is that I grew up in a household where there were no carbohydrates allowed, ever. No cookies, no bread, no potatoes, no rice. My mother was very extreme in terms of what she served. Since I left home more than 40 years ago, I've been making it right for myself.
I'm really a scientist. I follow recipes exactly - until I decide not to. And then I'll follow something else exactly. I may decide I could turn this peach tart into a plum tart, but if I'm following a recipe, I follow it exactly.

Pasta doesn't make you fat. How much pasta you eat makes you fat.
Food brings people together on many different levels. It's nourishment of the soul and body; it's truly love.
Pretty much every time I try something different or do something in front of a live audience, I truly think they might throw peanuts at me.

I eat a little bit of everything and not a lot of anything. Everything in moderation.
