“It was the ’80s. It was the age of the powersuit, and the 10-minute meal, and, ‘oh look, we have the microwave ovens.’ And she just dismissed all of that,” says Rosa Jurjevics of her iconic food writer mother, the late Laurie Colwin (1944–1992).

Throughout her career, both Colwin’s food and fiction writing gained a cult following, with her intimate writing style that is as comforting as the food she cooks.

Watch Jurjevics, Victoria Wilson, and Emily Gould discuss Colwin’s legacy and why her writing matters more than ever.

    I loved her! I looked forward to her weekly column that ran in the SF Chronicle and I felt like I lost a really good friend when she died.

    She was a terrific writer. So sad she died so early...I feel she had a lot left in her.
