Top Food Editors: Day 24 & Ann Criswell
Day 24 of Top Food Editors features Ann Criswell.
Ann Criswell was the longtime food editor of the Houston Chronicle – from 1966 to 2000. She started the column “Looking for Cooking” her first year. She described it as a “backyard type of discussion about cooking.”
She reviewed restaurants, wrote several cookbooks, and judged the Pillsbury Bake-Off. During her tenure she sampled chocolate-covered ants, fried parsley, raw tuna, quail eggs, black rice, rattlesnake, armadillo, and everything that “tastes like chicken.” She raised two children.
