Such sad news, she was so young. I am not much of a cook, though I have a couple of her books, but what I thought was really exceptional was her guidebook to Spain. Discovering Spain, I believe it is called. I had always hoped she would publish an updated edition, but that was not to be. May she rest in peace.
