Women’s History Month: Kay Savage

Day 23 of Women’s History Month is Kay Savage of the Detroit Free Press.

Kay Savage was the food editor at the Detroit Free Press – from 1945 through the 1960s. She wrote several cookbooks and answered readers’ questions through her column “Tower Kitchen Recipe Box” for years.

She had a test kitchen and one assistant – home economist Cecil Fleming. Kay was named to the Detroit reporters’ Hall of Fame. In 1955, she married Howard Kennedy.

Kay is featured in my upcoming book, The Food Section.
