Ms. Child
“A party without cake is just a meeting.”
“The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook.”
“I think every woman should have a blowtorch.”
“People who love to eat are always the best people.”
“Remember, 'No one's more important than people'! In other words, friendship is the most important thing--not career or housework, or one's fatigue--and it needs to be tended and nurtured.”
“Just speak very loudly and quickly, and state your position with utter conviction, as the French do, and you'll have a marvelous time!”
“The best way to execute French cooking is to get good and loaded and whack the hell out of a chicken. Bon appétit.”
P.S. I apologize if the person is supposed to be alive, like the Nobel.
