About Diana Kennedy

In 1957, Diana Southwood went to Mexico to marry Paul P. Kennedy, the foreign correspondent for the New York Times. Twelve years later, at the suggestion of Times food writer Craig Claiborne, she began teaching Mexican cooking classes and, in 1972, published her first cookbook. Her books include The Cuisines of Mexico, My Mexico, and the forthcoming The Art of Mexican Cooking. She has been decorated with the Order of the Aztec Eagle, the highest honor bestowed on foreigners by the Mexican government, and lives much of the year at her home in Michoacán, Mexico, which also serves as a research center for Mexican cuisine.
