Her name is Barbara Ninde Byfield, also the author of the humorous,
thin medieval/fantasy encyclopedia "The Book of Weird," a.k.a. "The
Glass Harmonica."

She wrote the cookbook in 1962 and would now be almost 75. Does anyone
know if she's still with us? Thanks.

Lenona.

P.S. Recipes include "Elizabeth Barrett's Brownies," "Swordfish
Agamemnon," "Spilt Milk Pudding," "Curried Favor"(a very spicy lamb
dish), "Cornish Hens Suttee," "Cheesecake Under the Covers," and
"Caesar's Goat." Most of them are recipes Anthony Bourdain himself
would probably enjoy! I do.
