Happy Birthday to Jeanne Voltz

Today would have been food editor Jeanne Voltz‘s 93 birthday. She was at the Miami Herald in the 1950s and at the Los Angeles Times in the 1960s.

In her more than forty years as a journalist, Voltz became what one culinary authority described as “the best known food expert you’ve probably never heard of.”

Terry Ford, a food editor and a charter member of Julia Child’s American Institute of Food and Wine, declared that Voltz has not been recognized for her contribution to culinary journalism. “She’s an extraordinary person, he said. “Her career goes bicoastal. Her impact and her knowledge is vast. She is very gifted, very crafted. When you read something Jeanne Voltz writes, you can say it was 100 percent thoroughly researched.”
