So sad to hear this. I had hoped to meet her one day. Her understanding of Mexican food and culture was phenomenal. I have all of her books. May she rest in peace in God's arms. Kathy Urbano

Diana called my grandfather, Paul P. Kennedy - the love of her life. How much that meant to my mother, Moira Kennedy. There is great poignancy in Diana's passing as it was our last connection with him as much as it was to her famed fierceness and passion to live an unfettered and independent life. The life of an artist. Rest in power, unapologetic Diana, Brigid (Kennedy) Acuña (Berkeley, Ca).

Diana S. Kennedy I meet in 1972 at her apartment on Riverside Drive. Most gracious woman she had so much information to share. I loved speaking with hear. I will miss her dearly and so will the people of Mexico and the world.
