Thanksgiving 2010
We spent Thanksgiving morning at Cocoa Beach – ot the beautiful beach of Senator Lori Wilson Park. (My article about Lori and the media’s coverage of her sponsored-E.R.A. legislation came out last year.) Curtis loved the water and playing in the sand. Now we are working on dinner. I am making a pomegranate glaze to go on the turkey that Lance is cooking – it’s a variation of the recipe in this month’s Whole Living magazine. My favorite women’s page-related Thanksgiving story is about food editor Jeanne Voltz while she worked at the Miami Herald in the 1950s. Jeanne’s daughter told me that their house phone would ring all day…

Tomorrow, Lance and I are leaving for the American Journalism Historians Association convention in Tucson. I am presenting a paper about women’s page journalist and food editor Jeanne Voltz and her coverage in the L.A. Times in the 1960s and early 1970s: “Food Journalism and Culinary Anthropology: Jeanne Voltz and the Food Section in the Los Angeles Times.” Here is the abstract: As society was changing in the 1960s, food editor Jeanne Voltz guided one of the most significant food sections in the country – at the Los Angeles Times.

Icons of American Cooking
It has been announced that The Icons of American Cooking will be published in January of 2011. I wrote a chapter about James Beard – who was a friend of 1960s L.A. Times food editor Jeanne Voltz. I had hoped to write a chapter about Jeanne but she did not make the cut. I am curious if any food editors – which often included the position of women’s editors – will be part of the book.
