Women’s History Month: Jeanne Voltz
Day one of Women’s History Month features the first food editor I ever studied: Miami Herald & Los Angeles Times food editor Jeanne Voltz. I will be blogging about a different food editor from my book, The Food Section, each day this month.
Like several other food editors, Voltz wrote cookbooks – including one of my favorites, The Florida Cookbook.
Today, Voltz’s recipe for Green Corn Tamales can be found on the Food Network website with a note giving credit to her acclaimed book, Barbecued Ribs, Smoked Butts, and Other Great Feeds. James Beard, a well-known name in food and a contemporary of Julia Child, wrote of the book, “Jeanne Voltz has written a definitive book on barbecuing. She understands the varying tastes and the techniques of each region she covers and this is THE book on barbecue.”
