Master chef, teacher and environmental activist Diana Kennedy is living proof that size has nothing to do with strength. Now in her 90s and barely five feet tall, she's a fierce jolt of energy that has become one of the most celebrated culinary legends of Mexican cuisine. Aware of her own mortality, she works tirelessly to solidify her legacy with the hope of turning her home into a foundation for culinary education in Mexico. Blending incredible archival footage from her many television appearances and unprecedented access to the ecologically sustainable home where she cooks, recycles rainwater, uses solar power and grows her own crops, Nothing Fancy is a charming homage to a culinary trailblazer and a true inspiration. But whatever you do, don't blend your avocado! Ravi Srinivasan
