The Journal has lost a longtime contributor. Journalism has lost a trailblazer. And I have lost a friend.
Ellen Brown, who penned The Journal s Cost-Buster Cooking column for seven years, died unexpectedly Jan. 14 after a surgical procedure.
The first story I wrote about her appeared in 2009 with a headline, not written by me, that called her a seasoned writer and chef.
But I always thought of Ellen as saucy. And indefatigable.
At my last count, she had penned 43 cookbooks. Can you imagine? They covered everything from how to make ice cream, something she taught me to do, to one-pot cooking and even gluten-free baking.
