Women’s History Month: Jeanne Voltz
Day seven of Women’s History Month features my final Miami Herald women’s page journalist: food editor Jeanne Voltz.
Here is a link to my article about Voltz’s career at the Los Angeles Times where she went after many years at the Herald.
Like several food editors, Voltz wrote several 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.”
