Oh, Jolene, you keep adding to my reading pile! I must have this book about Judith Jones! I can't believe how many classics she shepherded into the world--Anne Frank's diary and Julia Child's masterwork. Your table decor is a masterwork too--and now I'm hungry!π
Love the idea of the cutting board lunch! What a sweet and nurturing practice. I always learn the coolest things here from you. *adds book to the to be read stack* it may sound silly but I like to place favorite food items on a cutting board just to remind me of the sweet abundance of food and life. Something as simple as a beefsteak tomato and a baguette. Like charcuterie for one. Itβs like food art. Thank you, Jolene, for all this.
Thanks for sharing this story. I was fascinated by Fiona Glascott's portrayal of Judith Jones in the TV series "Julia" and curious about the real woman behind the editor's desk.
oh gosh, thank you for introducing me and so many others to another groundbreaking woman who we should all know! I'm digging in & staying tuned for your guest post on 'what to read if...' for more things judith jones! wow wow wow
I have admired Judith Jones for years and felt such sadness when her husband died. When my own husband died, our food/meal ritual was one of the things I missed the most. At that time a dear friend gave me THE PLEASURES OF COOKING FOR ONE. She enclosed a note that said, "May the ritual continue!" I do try, but I fall short often! I love your cutting board lunches! Inspiring for sure!β€οΈ

Lovely piece. Sounds like a fascinating woman. I've been watching Julia on TV, but it seems they haven't put nearly enough focus on her editor!
What a remarkable woman! I eagerly await the bookβs releaseβ¦ perhaps Iβll read it over a lingering lunch of these eggs. π₯

Remarkable and fascinating woman! Thanks for the heads up about the book. Jolene!
Love, love! β€οΈ
Love stopping by your Substack for all the info. Shared the baked egg recipe with my daughter (sheβs a fan of shakshuka, so...)
I shudder to think where weβd be without Judith Jones and her green pencil. Nice piece, Jolene.

Thank you all for your interest in The Editor and the remarkable life of Judith Jones. Iβm so grateful for all your pre-orders (you can order a signed copy from my local indie, Rough Draft Bar & Books, in Kingston, NY). https://roughdraftny.square.site/product/the-editor-by-sara-b-franklin-pre-order-signed-copy-/28457?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=19
Judith Jones sounds like such an interesting person - a book to add to my list. Baked eggs is my go to dinner for one, it beats breakfast cereal!

She was the real deal.
