There was not a single recipe in the newspapers food section that did not smack of down-home dullness! Okay, they said at the newspaper I worked for, YOU write the column on foods and recipes that YOU think would really excite the readers and make them happy! I did, but that didnt make the Editors happy, because it made their [food industry] advertisers miserable. When I was told that Id have to go back to monotonous meatloaf and uninteresting side-dishes that made mealtime a ritual rather than a celebration or pick up my check; I told them to MAIL it to me! I went home to start my own paper, which led to the many cookbooks Ive written and published myself.view less
