The lengthier NY Times obit was posted yesterday at 7 am, and is here in the forum.

Very sad! The Silver Palate was one of the first cookbooks i ever had! Thanks for posting the link.

thanks withnail. that is sad news. i loved silver palate and around the world cookbooks. she was young, too -- brain cancer diagnosed three months before.

the linked obituary was rather brief, i'd say.
