Diana Kennedy

First paragraph of the article, for some context:

>Diana Kennedy (born 3 March 1923)[1] is an authority on Mexican cooking known for her nine books on the subject, including The Cuisines of Mexico, which started changing how Americans view Mexican cooking. Her work is the basis of much of the work of Mexican chefs in the United States. Her cookbooks are distinctive because they are based on her fifty years of traveling Mexico, interviewing and learning from cooks of all kinds in the country, and from just about every region.

Apart from all she has done about research and writing about traditional Mexican cooking, the part about her quinta (homestead), i.e. the section "Quinta Diana" is also interesting.
