Highlighting Food Editors Grace Hartley, Dorothy Crandall & Helen Dollaghan
In 2104, I worked at promoting the stories of three food editors from my book The Food Section. Jane Nickerson, Jeanne Voltz and Ruth Ellen Church. Here is a Poynter post about them. In 2015, I plan to promote the stories of three more food editors: Grace Hartley, Dorothy Crandall & Helen Dollaghan. Grace Hartley was the food editor at the Atlanta Journal for decades. Grace Hartley had a home economics degree from the Georgia College for Women in Milledgeville – now Georgia College.

Jeanne Voltz & the Southern Foodways Alliance
Last week I joined the Southern Foodways Alliance in honor of newspaper food editor Jeanne Voltz. Here is information about Jeanne Voltz’s role in the organization:“The Center for the Study of Southern Culture at the University of Mississippi agreed to act as the incubator of the SFA and provided start-up capital, earned from sale of the Center-researched and written cookbook, A Gracious Plenty: Recipes and Recollections from the American South.

BBQ & Remembering Jeanne Voltz
I was shocked to see that Miami Herald and Los Angeles Times food editor Jeanne Voltz was not included in this book about the history of BBQ. Voltz’s story is worth recognizing as her impact lingers. Today, Voltz’s recipe for Green Corn Tamales can be found on the Food Network website with a note giving credit to her acclaimed book, Barbecued Ribs, Smoked Butts, and Other Great Feeds.

She understands the varying tastes and the techniques of each region she covers and this is THE book on barbecue.” Here is a great story about Voltz…
