A good name for a cookbook author...

My day job is cleaning and pricing used books. I just came across one called The Citrus Cookbook, by Josephine Bacon. What a nice name for a cookbook author, I thought. :-)

So then I went around the Internet to see what the prices were running, and found that Josephine Bacon is also the author of


Cooking the Israeli Way.

An Israeli cookbook by somebody named Bacon? It seems a little incongruous, somehow...
