Her show was the only non-cartoon I liked as a kid. She was fun to watch. Such vigor. And if she lived to 92, then it couldn't have been the butter.
My wife and I started cooking together after we were married in 1974,using her first two cookbooks. We still have those original books and use them on a regular basis. The spines are broken and the pages are stained with sauce Provencal and Persillade. We made Sole Piperade in her memory last night. She was a true inspiration for our family.
I think we're now required to call her 'The Freedom Chef'...
