In an age when mass pleasures like television are becoming more feeble and homogeneous, the very act of discrimination becomes a form of protest. At a time when mass marketing of food produces a product so disgusting that it has to be wrapped in distracting gimmicks to be sold, the mere fact of paying attention to what you eat and drink and telling the truth about taste is a revolutionary act.Lynn Hoffman

She was famous for her great taste and ability to distinguish between good and bad food. She was also famous for her love of cooking and enjoying all sorts of culinary delights.
