Last week, the luminous cookbook writer, Marion Cunningham died at the age of 90. Cunningham’s updated edition of The Fannie Farmer cookbook [1] has become a classic. The original Fannie Farmer was also a visionary in the kitchen, and one of the first celebrity chefs. (See my profile [2] of Farmer from the “single woman’s hall of fame.”)
