A Visit to the Kitchen of Judith Jones

Here's a nice piece on the legendary cookbook editor:

"NEXT TIME YOU'RE feeling uninspired or too lazy to cook, think of Judith Jones, the book editor who introduced the world to Julia Child as well as food legends James Beard, Marcella Hazan, Edna Lewis and Madhur Jaffrey. Her legacy also includes three books co-authored with her late husband, Evan Jones, and three of her own. At 90 years old, she continues to make supper nearly every night, and to eat it at a table beside a wall of hanging pots in her kitchen on New York City's Upper East Side. "It's sort of indecent," she said, "because sometimes, I begin to think around 4 o'clock, "˜Hm, is it almost time to start cooking?' " These days, she cooks mostly for herself and her Havanese dog, Mabon. To help others do the same, she wrote "Love Me, Feed Me: Sharing With Your Dog the Everyday Good Food You Cook and Enjoy," published last month by Knopf. Even those without canine companions are sure to find Ms. Jones's simple recipes"”and her delight in sharing them"”highly motivating."
