First paragraphs:

On the eve of her 90th birthday, food world trailblazer Margaret
Fulton reflects on a few cooking fundamentals, the art of a calm
kitchen, and her life of good fortune.

Margaret Fulton is on the phone from her Balmain home talking through
some of the essential qualities of the competent cook: master eggs;
perfect a lump-free béchamel sauce; understand your oven; respect
meat; learn to read a recipe; plan.

A milestone birthday is approaching - "Let me see, I was born 6/10/24"
- but the instruction is sharp, her voice firm and knowing. It's not
hard to imagine that in person she remains a force in the kitchen,
even if she is now, reluctantly, more prone to observations from the
sidelines.

There are, of course, so many lessons to be learnt from the woman who is
widely acknowledged as the first pioneer of contemporary Australian
cooking; someone who showed us that we need not be constrained by
geography, or the meat-and-three-veg mindset of the past...

Wow, Margaret is still alive? Her cookbooks were an institution here
during 60s/70's and into the 80's.
