100 years old today (if she was still with us!) I've got my copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking down off the shelf in her honour and I'm making pork chops (page 419 of the Penguin edition) and onion soup (page 62) for dinner.

Here are a couple of her quotes. A good thing for some on the messageboards to take note of!
"I’m awfully sorry for people who are taken in by all of today’s dietary mumbo jumbo. They are not getting any enjoyment out of their food."
"Moderation. Small helpings. Sample a little bit of everything. These are the secrets of happiness and good health. You need to enjoy the good things in life, but you need not overindulge"

And this one - “The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook” And this one - “(On what her longevity is attributed to) Red meat and gin.”

She had a rather distinctive way of speaking and I'm sure I read somewhere after she had passed away that she was a severe asthmatic.
