"Usually one's cooking is better than one thinks it is."

Words of wisdom from Julia Child's My Life in France.

I don't believe in twisting yourself into knots of excuses and explanations over the food you make. When one's hostess starts in with self-deprecations such as "Oh, I don't know how to cook . . ." . . . it is so dreadful to have to reassure her that everything is delicious and fine, whether it is or not.
