Unfortunately one of the Ladies (can't remember which) passed away a few
years ago. I loved their verve and enthusiasm for cooking and life in
general. Watching them shop for local produce, fish, and the like was
inspirational. I've not tried any of their recipes (they are definitely in
the cook only occasionally on grounds of abundence of calories, saturated
fat, etc.), but what they taught about ingredients and methods is probably
more valuable than any recipe in any of their books.
