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.

Searching for Clarice Rowlands information

She was the assistant women’s page editor of the Milwaukee Journal. In that position, she won several Vesta Awards – the top recognition for food sections. That is one of her awards above.

Then, on Nov. 4, 1967, the Milwaukee Journal featured a letter to the editor about the sudden death of Clarice. I…

Chew on This: Food Studies in Communication
I just learned that my proposal has been accepted for a Roundtable Participant at Chew on This: Food Studies in Communication, the National Communication Association (NCA) Scholars Seminar at the annual fall convention in San Francisco. I proposed a paper on the food sections of major metropolitan newspapers in the post-World War II years and the way in which women food editors influenced culinary journalism. More specifically, the food sections of the Milwaukee Journal, Los Angeles Times and the Evansville (Indiana) Courier during the 1960s will be studied. These newspapers were chosen because their editors were regular winners of the top award for food writing and reporting – the Vesta…
