There's an article in the Washington Post food section today where she makes an appearance. Link for those interested: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2008/03/25/ST2008032503041.html?sid=ST2008032503041 Wed Mar 26 12:06:35 -0700 2008 124435 sharonlouk 1 3530305 Thanks for posting, it brings back interesting memories of Atlanta, I watched her all the time when I lived there, it just seemed so natural, living in Dixie and watching the ultimate southern TV chef. She didn't have a couple of bubbas for sons and she didn't have a show featuring her acting stupid with all the men in the audience. If I remember correctly, she also made lots of mistakes on the air but managed to get through them with a lot of grace and humor. Wed Mar 26 13:00:46 -0700 2008 3530077 11826 Phaedrus 1 3530421 In Pat Conroy's delightful cookbook, THE PAT CONROY COOKBOOK, the first chapter is devoted to Nathalie Dupree. I cannot read it without laughing aloud. If you enjoy Nathalie and her myriad charms, you'll love this. Agree with Phaedrus that, yes, she did indeed make a lot of on-air mistakes, and they were part of her charm. Unlike the icy Ms. Stewart (whom I've always imagined wakes up mornings with her hair combed), Nathalie Dupree makes messes, mistakes and emerges as one of us. She's the personification of "The Auntie Mame School of Cookery" but with a definite southern accent. Wed Mar 26 13:25:09 -0700 2008 3530077 15743 Sherri
