James Beard Foundation: What’s your job description?
Mindy Fox: As the food editor at La Cucina Italiana, I primarily develop food stories and write recipes. I write recipe head notes and tips and, sometimes, feature articles.
As a cookbook author, I create concepts for books, develop recipes and write all sorts of front matter text, recipes head notes and tips. I’ve been a ghost author and a co-author. As a co-author, I’ve worked with two great chefs: Sara Jenkins (on Olives & Oranges) and Karen DeMasco (on The Craft of Baking). Collaborating is a lot of fun.
