New Craig Claiborne book.

The New York Times has an article today about the new book about Craig Claiborne who is known as the “inventor of food journalism.” The book is called The Man Who Changed the Way We Eat by Thomas McNamee.

Here is a link to the article. The above 1973 photo is from Craig’s home.

I would argue that Jane Nickerson ( who held the position of food editor at the NYT prior to Craig) was the inventor – if there is such a thing – of food journalism. She was editor from 1942 through 1957.

The food coverage was found in the women’s pages of the NYT.
