Elaine Corn
Food & Lifestyle Reporter
Elaine Corn is a former news editor turned food editor and author.
Her journalism career began with a bachelors of journalism from the
University of Texas-Austin and in succession with jobs as copy
editor at the Dallas Morning News and Austin American-Statesman.
While in Austin, Elaine became interested in food and created the
paper's first food section, becoming its first food editor. To
learn more about food, she cooked her way from Europe to Israel and
onto a private yacht sailing from Greece to Turkey as its only
cook. Once back in America, she headed up food sections for the
Louisville Courier-Journal and Sacramento Bee. While at the Bee,
the paper won awards for Best Food Section and Best Food Reporting
from the Association of Food Journalists. She is author of six
cookbooks. "Now You're Cooking: Everything a Beginner Needs to Know
to Start Cooking Today" won Julia Child and James Beard culinary
awards. Having begun a conversion from print to radio journalism,
Elaine continues the search for food stories in every corner of
life.
