Baltimore Sun: Fun With Sea Food
I tracked down this recipe booklet “Fun With Sea Food” published by the Baltimore Sun in the 1950s. The author is Virginia Roeder who had a background in home economics and a PhD from Johns Hopkins University. I am researching more about her but it has been a challenge as she married and changed names several times. She will be included in my upcoming book about women’s page journalism.

Jeanne Voltz reference
I was reading through the Recipe Writer’s Handbook when I came across a quote by Miami Herald and L.A. Times food editor Jeanne Voltz: “A good recipe suits the reader to the time, the place and the ingredients; it suits the reader’s skill or will to cook; and its taste meets acceptance by his or her family and guests. A good recipe is a commonsense solution to a reader’s need for food and sustenance.” (p. 190) I plan to interview one of the authors of this book for my work on newspaper food editors.
