A Kansan transplant to New York, she wrote a shoppers’-and-cooks’ column for the New York Herald Tribune (1936–1966) and a similar but more expansive column for Gourmet (1941–1953). She was known for an indefatigable passion for chronicling all imaginable culinary highways and byways of the age, and for a wildly effusive, metaphor-crammed prose style that readers found either lyrical or laughable.
