I really enjoy cooking, cooking shows and books - and as a stress reliever I have become addicted to the Food TV network - What, you may ask does this have to do with PD? One of the chefs, on "Cooking Right", recommended some books by an author that lived in Northern California, near to him. So I borrowed 2 of the books from the library, only to find that her last book, on life, gastronomy and etc, was written at the end of her life while she struggled with PD and the difficulties in writing her book and living her life! It seems that this disease is popping up every where in my life! Anyway, the books are good, and I recommend them to cooks - and her last book to anyone with PD. Last House: Reflections, Dreams and Observations 1943 - 1991 (This is her last book) and With Bold Knife and Fork (A good read for people interested in cooking) Sara Byron, daughter of Richard - 79 yrs old, PD since 1969
