I just received another Jeanne Voltz cookbook. She was a food editor in the women’s pages of the Miami Herald in the 1950s and the Los Angeles Times in the 1960s. I love this dedication to her parents. She has mentioned her parents in relation to her cooking in a few interviews. I have been collecting information on Jeanne for years – most recently in Helen Muir’s papers at the University of Miami. I plan to write a conference paper about her this Spring.

With one more free week before classes start, I am doing some work on my article about women’s page journalist and food editor Jeanne Voltz. She wrote under her own name in the 1950s while she was at the Miami Herald. When she moved to the L.A. Times in the 1960s, she initially wrote under the pen name “Marian Manners.” That’s a photo of the original Marian Manners above. Here is an article about her. One item missing from the L.A. Times story was that the initial food editor reported to the advertising department. It was not until Jeanne Voltz that the food editor moved over to the editorial side…

I came across this article that Jeanne Voltz (food editor of the L.A. Times women’s section in the 1960s) wrote about food great James Beard. Jeanne and James went on to become good friends, especially after Jeanne left the Times to become an editor at a women’s magazine and moved to New York. I just completed my book chapter on Beard and am getting ready to send out an article about Voltz. Not much has been written about food journalism in newspapers. We are going to use some of their recipes as we begin holiday cooking today!
