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.

Cookbook Dedications: Day One
Most of the newspaper food editors in my book, The Food Section, wrote cookbooks. Some of them (such as Ruth Ellen Church and Jeanne Voltz) wrote numerous cookbooks.

James Beard & Female Newspaper Food Editors
This photo was posted on the Fales’ library’s Facebook wall. This is the caption: James Beard, Irma Rombauer, Cecily Brownstone, Clementine Paddleford and other guests at Cecily’s Jane Street home in the 1940s. It is likely that James Beard would be saddened how much his story has overshadowed the women he surrounded himself with during his career. The women who promoted his career and kept his counsel, such as Jane Nickerson and Cecily Brownstone, have been marginalized in culinary history.
