Byron Ayanoglu, food writer
I didn’t know food writer Byron Ayanoglu, but his death on the weekend has been mentioned several times in social media I follow, so I can see it’s newsworthy, and his friends have my condolences.
On looking him up in the newspaper’s obits, I happened on another obituary, of a woman I was in grade school with. She was a couple of years older than me but still – it’s an awfully nice day for a memento mori.

Sorry to hear about Byron Ayanoglu. I used to hear him on CBC Radio a lot 15-20 years ago, and I even have one of his cookbooks (“The New Vegetarian Gourmet”), which is nice for its emphasis is on simplicity and finding the real heart of simple meals.

I never met the man but I quite liked his work. We have one of his cookbooks that sees regular use and his book about life on Crete, also good. He sounds like someone who lived well.
