I love Julia Child! If you are a fan of cooking shows and/or a fan of Julia Child, I would recommend reading this book. It's "a delightful collection of the beloved chef and bestselling author’s words of wisdom on love, life, and, of course, food." - Penguin Random House quoted on this book and I truly agree! It's such a great book!

I have never read anything by or about Julia Child that I haven’t absolutely adored – but I’m a foodie and I have a framed vintage photo of Julia in my kitchen, so I may be a little biased – but what could be better than a charming little collection of her pithy quotes and sage advice? Chef Childs’ wit and wisdom abound in this petite hardcover package. Filled with instruction for home cooks like, “I think every woman should have a blowtorch” and “Don’t forget the butter!” to the timeless counsel of, “Find something you’re passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it” and adopting an “eh bien, tant pis!” mindset when things go wrong, this delightful book would make a perfect hostess gift for any occasion. After all, the best occasions are always accompanied by food, and people who love to eat are always the best people!

I received a digital pre-publication copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review – and loved it so much that I did indeed purchase a physical copy for a Thanksgiving hostess gift.

A charming collection of quotations from beloved chef Julia Child. This would make a great gift for the cook or chef in your life. I was hoping for a bit more substance and text, maybe some stories, but this is more like a plate of gougeres--light and airy, delicious, but not a complete meal.

People Who Love to Eat includes several notable quotes from the iconic chef and TV personality, Julia Child. This book is perfect for anyone who loves cooking or eating. The quotes are fun to read, but they do not include deeper information about Julia Child or her life.

This book is a beautiful collection of some of the inspiring and meaningful words of Julia Child. She still holds a prominent position not just in the cooking field, but also for anyone who feels like they are flailing in their careers. I've always admired her for finding and committing to a new and often intimidating profession of cooking in her late thirties. This book offers a glimpse into Julia Child's uplifting and tenacious attitude towards life, love, and the world of exquisite food in a beautiful package.

This is a sweet little book that would be perfect for any food lover or Julia Child fan. This small tome is a collection of Julia Child quotes with accompanying illustrations. The quotes are from various sources and are all Oh So Julia. She was a wonderful personality that was a real inspiration in the kitchen.

I used to watch Julia Child on TV all the time as a teenager. I loved watching her cook and she was so funny. This book is a good representation of her, too! It is not very long, and I read it quite quickly. But her quotes and sayings are so fun and much needed inspiration in this difficult year. I could easily read this book more than once. It is such a feel-good book. A great read and I highly recommend it!

Julia Child. How I miss her wit and wisdom, but this book offers a lot of quotes and evoked many fond memories of watching Julia cook. Thank you, Julia, for giving us this memory!

I love Julia Child. She was such an inspiration and amazing woman. She broke the glass ceiling for woman not only in cooking, but on television also.

This was a cute book with some great quotes by Julia Child but I feel that it was a bit too short to be satisfying. It would have been better if it also had some stories or pictures from Julia Child's life, or if it had simply more quotes.

Quotes from Julia Child about love, life and food. A wonderful book that would make a great holiday gift. If you love Julia Child this is the book for you.

People Who Love to Eat are Always the Best People (and other wisdom) by Julia Child is a coffee table book full of Child’s quotes and idioms all about friends and family, cooking, food, and wine. I can picture her saying these things on her cooking shows. The pictures are drawn beautifully and compliment the content.

***** I received an ARC from NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for my honest review. *****

Thanks to the publisher and to Net Galley for providing me with an ARC of this title in exchange for my honest review. This is the perfect gift for Julia Child lovers! I adore how the cover is in keeping with the theme of her most famous cookbook, Mastering The Art of French Cooking. Inside you will find quotes and thoughts from Julia herself that will uplift, inspire, and make you chuckle.

This is a delightful collection of quotes , sayings and wisdom by Julia Child. Julia is a legendary figure and I have enjoyed reading this as she was a delightful charcter with a great love of all foods and cooking.

3.5 stars

Thanks to the publisher and to Net Galley for providing me with an ARC of this title in exchange for my honest review. This should be a great little gift for cooks and lovers of Julia. It was not easy to see what I assume is a charming little book via the electronic format. It is very very brief. But, there are some great Julia quotes and observations.

It was very well done. Such uplifting and wise advice and quotes! It was just what o needed during this stressful time.

Julia Child is a legend. She was great chef and cookbook author as well as a source of many delightful and insightful quotes. She taught many of us how to cook, how to be fearless in the kitchen and, maybe most importantly, how to enjoy eating.

This little book is full of Julia Child’s quotes and observations on food, life, and more. It is pure Julia: charming and fun. It will remind you why she is an American treasure. This book would be a wonderful gift for anyone who enjoys cooking.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a copy of this book for review.

People Who Love to Eat Are Always the Best People is a beautifully curated selection of Ms. Child's wise and witty quotes about food and life. Due out 17th Nov 2020 from Penguin Random House on their Knopf Doubleday imprint, it's 160 pages and will be available in hardcover and ebook formats.

This is a beautifully and whimsically illustrated small volume of quotes from the late culinary mistress who brought a love of *good* food to generations of Americans. They're well curated, reflecting her surprisingly down-to-earth, wise, and pragmatic personality. There's also humor aplenty with warmth and affection shining through. It honestly felt like watching old reruns of her TV show or a particularly good meal.

It's a short book, only 160 pages, with each 2 page spread containing a quote from Julia and a line drawing or wallpaper facing page. The line drawings by Sidonie Coryn (her illustrator/collaborator for many of her iconic cookbooks) are very simple and appealing, with food or kitchen objects arranged artfully.

Four stars. This would make a superlative gift or housewarming/hostess present for food loving friends.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

I was so excited to read this, I loved her so.
Wonderful quotes from a woman beloved by so many. She had some fabulously funny ones and some that are used by people who never even saw her show. It was so short I would have loved more quotes more time with Julia. there could never be enough. This would make an excellent gift book.
Thank you to the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review
