Better late than never, I say. I can't help it if someone doesn't notify me as soon as someone in the culinary world dies. It's not as if her name was as familiar as Anthony Bourdain's, after all. Besides, I didn't see any obits in the newspapers. In the best of worlds, I would have been seven months late at the most.

Now, if only I could find out more about the late Barbara Nynde Byfield, author of the humorous 1960s "The Eating-in-Bed Cookbook." Namely, HOW she died - at 58, in 1988. (She also wrote murder mysteries, kids' books, and "The Book of Weird," which is a thin, tongue-in-cheek encyclopedia on nameless fairy tale characters and the occult.)

Lenona.
