The Battle of American Cookbook Writers

The Los Angeles Times food blog featured this story today about a bias against West Coast cookbook authors.

It used to be that newspaper food editors were regular cookbook authors. For example, Ruth Ellen Church published several cookbooks as food editor at the Chicago Tribune.

In terms of  West Coast newspaper editors/cookbook authors – my favorite is Jeanne Volz, who wrote for the L.A. Times and published two well-reviewed California cookbooks. My article about Jeane comes out in the Spring issue of American Journalism.
