Food Writing?

I'm currently reading a book about a woman attending the Cordon Bleu cooking school, and she said when she applied to the school, she stated that she wanted to be a food writer.

Do I lead a rather sheltered life, or did anyone else not really know that there was such a thing as a "food writer?"  Not a writer of cookbooks--that part I grasped--but writing about food in some other fashion.  During the past year, I have been studying food and cooking history, but prior to our No Processed Foods experiment, the last food writing I had actually read might well have been The Gingerbread Man. 

 I may need to get out more........

Well, someone had to write for Gourmet and Bon Appetit. I think going to cooking school to be a food writer might be like learning to knit to be a fiber writer or growing a garden to write about gardening. Not absolutely necessary, but darn helpful!

Have you considered that your adventure into non-processed foods could be a book idea in itself? (speaking of food writing)

Not that I know any publishers or anything, but it seems like something people would be interested in reading about.
