Curley: Dorothy Dean recipe pages are a hit
Editor Rob Curley comments:
The calls were immediate. Emails quickly followed. Now the stamped letters are arriving at our building on West Riverside.
There have been a lot of changes to The Spokesman-Review over the last few months. We hear about them all. Almost instantly. Most have been met positively. Though we get an earful often enough.
But nothing we’ve done to try to improve our newspaper has received the response that we got from the return of Dorothy Dean.
Food sections are one of my favorite things in a newspaper. Mostly because I really love to eat.
When I first saw the old Dorothy Dean recipes that this newspaper produced for nearly 50 years, starting in 1935, I couldn’t wait to bring her back. There was all sorts of talk of how we should do it. We had lots and lots of ideas.
Then it hit us: Why not just scan in the old recipe pages so that they would be exactly like they used to be? Even down to being able to cut them out and save them in a binder. More here.
Question: Do you read Food Sections in the newspaper?
