Jeffrey Alford was a Canadian food writer, best known for cookbooks co-written with his ex-wife Naomi Duguid.[1] He died on 17 January 2024, aged sixty-nine.[citation needed]
Alford was raised in Laramie, Wyoming, and he graduated from high school there in 1972.[2] He earned a master's degree in creative writing at the University of Wyoming.[3] After leaving Wyoming, he lived in Ireland and traveled the world.
He met Duguid on a bike trip in Tibet in 1985 and they were married in early 1986. They had two sons, and lived in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The couple separated in 2009, and Alford went on to live in a small village in Northern Thailand.[4] He died on 19 January 2024 in a hospital in southern Thailand. The cause was liver failure eventually brought on by a long-ago liver-fluke infection.
