Cookbook Dedication: Day Two

Most of the newspaper food editors in my book, The Food Section, wrote cookbooks. Many included tributes that were helpful in understanding their lives and their relationships.

Jeanne Voltz, food editor at the Miami Herald and Los Angeles Times, wrote numerous cookbooks and her dedication pages were insightful.

In The Flavor of the South, she wrote:
“Marie Sewell Appleton, who had the nerve to let a curious child invade her kitchen
and
James Lamar Appleton, who taught the child to taste.”

In The Country Ham Book, she wrote:
“To the memory of my grandmother Susan Hannon Sewell, who regarded country ham as the staff of life, and my late husband, Luther, who insisted that we have a southern ham every Christmas when we lived in California.”

In The Florida Cookbook, Voltz wrote:
“For young Luther and Jeanne Marie, whose tastes were born and bred in Florida.”
