Association of Food Journalists Talk
I will be speaking about my food editors and the future of food journalism at the annual meeting of the Association of Food Journalists in Memphis. The meeting takes place in September. My book, The Food Section, includes the story of why the the Association of Food Journalists was started. It all began in the hotel room of Milwaukee Journal food editor Peggy Daum after Sen. Moss had referred to the female food editors as “whores” of the grocery stores.

Cookbook Dedication: Day Five
Chicago Tribune food editor Ruth Ellen Church, often using the pen name of Mary Meade, wrote several cookbooks. Her dedications added new information yet also introduced a new question. Her 1965 edition of Mary Meade’s Magic Recipes is dedicated to:“For Morrison Wood, whose enthusiastic review of this book thirteen years ago launched its successful career, my grateful thanks.” Her 1962 book Pancakes Aplenty is dedicated to: “My favorite sister, Marian Miller.” Her 1966 edition of Mary Meade’s Modern Homemaker Cookbook is dedicated “For Holly Kapple Field, Young Modern Homemaker.” I have not been able to track down who this woman is.

Cookbook Dedication: Day Three
Grace Hartley was the food editor at the Atlanta Journal for more than 40 years. She wrote the 1976 Southern Cookbook. This is the dedication page: “In the memory of Mama, Allie Briley Hartley, a Most Remarkable Woman. Dedicated to all the good cooks who have made the book possible. And special thanks to my husband, Judson Germon, to Mary Patterson, and to Faith Brunson, who encouraged me to put these pages together.” Grace was such a dedicated journalist that she married Judson at the courthouse during her lunch hour because she was under deadline.
