Staff Writer

Peggy Grodinsky has been the food editor at the Portland Press Herald since 2014. Previously, she was executive editor of Cook’s Country, a now-defunct national magazine that was published by America’s Test Kitchen. She spent several years in Texas as food editor at the Houston Chronicle, seven years at the James Beard Foundation in New York, and a (magical) year as a journalism fellow at the University of Hawaii. Her work has appeared in “Best of Food Writing” (2017) and “Cornbread Nation 4: The Best of Southern Food Writing” (2008).

Lots of fascinating material in ‘Diggio, Haybis Korpus & E Plewrisy Unicorn!’ if you can get past the fact that the imaginary Ethan Spike was a ‘reprehensible bigot.’
