Sylvia Schur |
Sylvia Schur (born 27 June 1917) is a food expert.
She wrote food columns for PM, Seventeen, Look, Woman's Home Companion, and PARADE.12 She has written a number of cookbooks and is often credited for inventing the "dog-on-a-stick", the first recorded incarnation of the modern day corn dog.
She graduated from Hunter College in 1939, snared a job first as a market reporter for PM, an ad-free New York newspaper, turned that into a food column for the paper and then went on to Seventeen, where she convinced the editor that teens cared about food and became the magazine's first food editor. Her trail as food editor carried her to Look, Woman's Home Companion, an ill-fated magazine, and finally Parade, where she succeeded Julia Child and preceded Sheila Lukins as food editor. Along the way, she got into product development for various food companies, such as Ocean Spray Cran-Apple juice, and helped develop the original menu of The Four Seasons Restaurant in New York City.
Following the death of her husband Saul Schur, just shy of their 50th wedding anniversary, Sylvia Schur married architect Kaneji Domoto, who died in 2002. She has 3 children, daughter Jane Smith, and sons, Stephen and Jonathan, and seven grandchildren.
Some of Schur's publications include:
Her latest book, which she is currently writing, surveys her lifetime, focusing on food and women's changing roles.1
