Quote by Julia Child
When I got to France I realized I didnt know very much about food

When I got to France I realized I didnt know very much about food at all. Id never had a real cake. Id had those cakes from cake mixes or the ones that have a lot of baking powder in them. A really good French cake doesnt have anything like that in it – its all egg power. – Julia Child
