The lead section provides a brief overview of the topic. It is concise and clear.

The content of the article is relevant to the topic. The content is up to date. The article is fairly short and could include a more thorough timeline of her life, such has attending cooking school and/or the years she taught at ISU and what courses she taught.

The tone is neutral and the article does not contain heavy bias.

All of the facts are backed up with citations and all of the links work. Some of the sources are older, but still relevant. There does not seem to be many sources available for this topic, so the sources seem pretty good.

There are no discussions on the talk page. It is rated start class and is part of a few Wiki projects.

Overall, I think this page has a good start. I think it may be lacking some information, but it may be harder to find some of the information because there may not be as many secondary sources available. I think it provides accurate and well-cited information.
