"WALDRON--Maggie WALDRON
-
"the first lady of San Francisco cuisine" - died in her Sausalito home
Wednesday following a long illness. She was 67. Ms. WALDRON
was
an author of cookbooks, former food editor for McCall's magazine, a TV
producer and food consultant who worked with more than 150 companies. Her
most recent job was tracking culinary trends for Ketchum Public Relations
Worldwide. She retired from that post in 1993, but continued her association
with the company as a consultant. Examiner food writer Jim WOOD once
described Ms. WALDRON as "one of the most respected and influential
personages on the national food scene." WOOD said Ms. WALDRONwas
"credited with the culinary insight that it's OK for chefs to grow rich."
The late food writer James BEARD wrote that Ms. WALDRON
"is
one of the most vital and amazing women to have worked her way to the top
of the food business. She is far-seeing, her talents and knowledge are
all-embracing, and she is intensely creative." She could write, too. WOOD
also
praised Ms. WALDRON's talents as a wordsmith. "What is sometimes
overlooked by those in awe of her high culinary wattage is that
WALDRON
is
a skilled cook and a gifted writer," he wrote. As an example, WOOD
cited
this paragraph from Ms. WALDRON's book of "comfort food" recipes,
jokingly titled, "Cold Spaghetti at Midnight": "My nose almost always finds
the exotic markets of the world long before my feet. That's because the
fragrance of fruit overpowers everything else, including decaying vegetables
and wet chicken feathers. You can smell a ripe mango 50 feet away. It's
still possible to follow the old slave routes through Africa by following
the trails of mango trees: The slaves cast aside the seeds as they trudged
across the continent and lined those trails of tears with towering mango
trees." In 1994, Ms. WALDRON
became only the fourth person to receive
the International Association of Culinary Professionals' Lifetime Achievement
Award. Born Margaret
GEHLERT
in Fort Collins, Colo., Ms. WALDRON
studied
cooking and art in France, Italy, Hong Kong, Bangkok and several U.S. cities.
She graduated in restaurant management from the Cornell School of Hotel
Administration. She served on the boards of Meals on Wheels, the San Francisco
Food Bank, the International Women's Forum, the American Institute of Wine
and Food and the San Francisco Professional Food Society. Last year she
served as a judge in the Healthy Menu Awards sponsored by Evian and Gourmet
magazine. She is survived by her husband, Gene
TEPPER, daughter
Sara Leslie
WALDRON STOTTS
of Bremerton, Wash., and a granddaughter,
Jessica. Plans for a memorial service are pending. Taste treat Several
of Ms. WALDRON's recipes appeared in The Examiner. Here, from her
"Cold Spaghetti" book, is a sample: Dutch Potatoes Heaven and Earth: 4
tablespoons butter or margarine, 3 medium potatoes (about 1 pound) sliced
1/8 inch thick, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon poppy seeds, 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon
freshly ground black pepper, 2 small tart apples (about 4 ounces each),
peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, Cinnamon
(optional), Chopped parsley. 1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Melt the
butter in the oven in a shallow 2-quart baking dish. Add the potatoes,
salt, poppy seeds and pepper to the dish, and toss to coat the potatoes
with butter. Bake 30 minutes, tossing or stirring the potatoes twice. Meanwhile,
toss the apple slices with the lemon juice in a bowl; set aside. 2. Add
the apples to the potatoes and toss to mix. Continue to bake just until
the apples are tender, about 10 minutes. Serve hot, dusted with cinnamon
if desired, and sprinkled with parsley. Serves four." Source:

sentence, is to have the property left by his father, Julius WEBER,
distributed to him. Judge W.W. MORROW yesterday denied the application
for a perpetual injunction made by Christoph E.P. RIESENWEBER, a
brother of the homicide's father, to restrain John ADAMS, the administrator
of the estate, from giving the property to Adolph WEBER. RIESENWEBER
says that his name is the proper family name, and based his petition for
an injunction on the grounds that Adolph could not succeed to the estate
because he is supposed to have committed the act which made himself sole
heir, namely the murder of all the other heirs. So until Adolph WEBER
pays for his alleged crime on the gallows, he will have the estate of his
father, and as he will make a strong legal fight to escape the death penalty,
RIESENWEBER,
the next heir, will find no doubt that the amount of the property has been
