Yes, a true delight. Someone of whom you would not only wish to eat with, but to be her friend.

One of my favorite episodes (not on YouTube, at least not in full) is her "omelette" party. This is where she makes custom omelettes for each of her guests, in real time, in her dining room.

Of course, she screws up one of them. So she says, "Well, we'll just save this one for Mr. Smith, he won't know the difference."

Besides the magnificent endowment of her kitchen to the Smithsonian (which you can tour online), she also donated her knives to another party (perhaps a museum).

She owned over 500 of them.

I loved her show myself. It was one of the few things on PBS worth watching.
