You are welcome, Sam–I am pretty pleased with what I wrote here, particularly in light of the Cheese Sammich Kerfluffle….

thank you Barbara. I am so grateful for you putting down these thoughts, I would never have gotten an overall view otherwise.
I think Catherin from food musing was one of the people who got into the book. She was really surprised. She didnt submit it – just found herself in there.

Barbara:

Holly Hughes sounds like the food world's answer to American Library Association's current bugaboo, Michael Gorman. Gorman is vehemently opposed to blogs and blogging, and not above taking frequent cheap shots at librarians who blog. Some of the things he says are truly horrifying; sadly, unlike Hughes, he's showing no inclination to mellow.

Maybe Hughes got a few irritated letters from bloggers after the 2004 edition?

In my view, the writers of food magazines are more sold out. If you read some food magazines, the recipes are like advertisements to brand products, it’s as if the marketing team asking the writers to push these products onto the readers. Ethics, if there aren’t any in mainstream journalism, how can one expect they exist in food journalism? I think they are more afraid about their livelihood getting lost.
