Abby Mandel Meyer was the founder of Chicago's 10-year-old Green City Market, longtime food columnist (The Weekend Cook) at the Tribune and member of Les Dames d'Escoffier.

Her spirit lives on in the market, a wonderful confluence of farmers and food lovers, chefs and amateur cooks alike.

Sincere condolences to Abby's family, friends and fans.

She was classy, brilliant, fun loving, and nurturing.

She will be in my thoughts and prayers when I visit the Botanic Gardens, shop the Green Market
and enjoy my favorite foods at Convito.

Many of her recipes are my family's favorites.

We were blessed to have known her. She will be greatly missed.

Recommended reading for Chicagoans, current and former.
