How should I eat? (Not too much)
—Michael Pollan
If it is so difficult to learn to cook, how did all those early pioneer women manage to cross the country in rugged covered wagons and feed troops of people from one big pot hung over an open fire?
—Marion Cunningham, from Learning to Cook
Treat treats as treats.
—Michael Pollan
No matter how you slice it through, grain-fed meat production systems are a drain on the global food supply.
—Jonathan A. Foley, director of the Institute on the Environment, U of MN
In Loving Memory of Judith Jones: March 10, 1924 – August 2, 2017
Bronwyn’s admired and beloved step-mom, the literary mastermind Judith Jones, passed away on Wednesday at her summer home in Walden, Vermont. Bronwyn was graciously by her side through the end. Judith was admired by the masses; articles written in her memory have appeared in the Washington Post, New York Times, and NPR, among many others. I know Bronwyn will have her own sentiments to share, but to learn more about Judith and her legacy, take a moment to read the following articles.
Until next time,
Corrie Austin

Bronwyn,
Please accept my sincere sympathy. I remember the seminar she gave several years ago at a northern Vermont Inn so fondly. Such a pleasure to see her in person, after reading so much about her over the years.
I’m so happy for you that you had this intimate, loving relationship over such a long period, one that also has encouraged you professionally. Judith lived such a rich life, in so many ways, that we can rejoice, as well as feel genuine sadness at her departure. I’ll be saying a prayer for the progress of her soul and your comfort,
Niki Glanz, Lebanon, NH
Hello Bronwyn,
I was so sad to read about Judith’s passing.I had no doubt that you would be by her side comforting her.Your relationship was loving and mutually respectful.
I had the honor, and I mean honor of meeting Judith at the 2011 Key West Literary Seminar.She autographed the Tenth Muse in green pen.I didn’t know that she edited with a green pen until I read the Times obituary–making her signature even more precious to me.I read as many of the obituaries about Judith as I could find.I rewatched the video on your blog of the two of you making two potato salads, and I am rereading The Tenth Muse.Reveling in the wonderful relationship she had with your father.
When I met Judith at KWLS I explained that my husband had died nine years before and that I was so grateful for her book The Pleasures of Cooking for One.Her autograph responded to that by her writing “it makes a difference.” And it still does.
Such a painful loss for you, but you were clearly an important part of her life.Thank you for keeping her alive for us.
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy.
Connie Wilder–Salisbury, MA
Dear Bronwyn,
When I read about Judith’s passing in the New York Times it brought back a flood of memories. Even though over 40 years have passed, I still hold the moments spent together very dear to me. They were a time of youth, hope, optimism,joy, and wonderful cooking. Let’s raise our glass to a special person who touched the hearts and minds of all who came in contact with her. You’re so fortunate, Bronwyn, to have had eachother.
