I just received another Jeanne Voltz cookbook: The L.A. Gourmet.

Jeanne Voltz was a leading food editor for the Miami Herald in the 1950s and the Los Angeles Times in the 1960s. Food sections were a large part of women’s pages.

Voltz also wrote more than a dozen cookbooks. What has been helpful about the books has been the dedication pages. Through the dedications, I have learned quite a bit about her parents and grandmother.

I am completing a conference paper about Voltz and her work at the Times. In my look at her articles, I have found much more than simple recipes. She explores government regulation, consumer news and nutrition research.
