Happy All the Time (27 page)

For many years Colwin and her husband lived in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, where their daughter was born and raised.

As a writer, Colwin was able to leave office life behind and become a work-from-home mom. Ice-skating with her daughter, Rosa, age six in this photograph, was a favorite winter activity.

A soup recipe Colwin created for Rosa.

This gingerbread recipe was “a hit” according to Colwinâwords of high praise she used throughout her food writing.

Colwin loved to tinker with baking recipes and routinely combined elements and flavors not cited in the original versions.

Summer food delighted Colwin, and she loved to eat outside, especially in the evening.
