Although many of us have known this news for quite a while, today the announcement is official. You can read Amanda's last Inside Scoop column before she heads over to Ten Speed Press where she will be a senior editor specializing in cookbooks.
I just wanted to thank Amanda, who I first met when she interviewed me 18 months ago for an article about Food Bloggers. She has since been a great support to our community, she has encouraged us and she has become a good friend of mine.
Good luck with your new venture, Amanda!

Hey...always a good thing to have a friend who supports us cyber-foodies!
ReplyDeleteI sent off a huge spankin' of congrats this morning. That's just way too cool, Ten Speed Press? YEAH !!! I am in awe, even hours later.

While I wish her all the success in the world, which she deserves, I will miss her good work. Amanda really seems to have her finger on the pulse of food in this region.
ReplyDeleteI'll miss Amanda's excellent writing at the Chronicle, but I'm excited for her landing such a great new gig. I'm so happy that she included news of my new restaurant in her latest (and last) column.
ReplyDeletewmm- amanda was stellar for that. She single handedly put many of us Bay Area bloggers on the map.
ReplyDeletedrbiggles - i hope you are still in awe by the time I get round to replying to my comments!
tana - I will definitely miss her at the chron, for sure.
brett - i am so ashamed - i read that put then didnt put two and two together at first and realise she was talking about you.
