Here's a 3,400-word "Vintage Insatiable" piece from Gael Greene circa 1971 explaining how she grew out of the "velveeta cocoon" and became a food critic, and no surprise, it was because of sexytime: "My gastronomic dilettantism finally found a solid theme with four recipes from the Ladies' Home Journal and a married man... A woman does well to be beautiful, mysterious, haunting, witty, rich, and exotic in bed?but it never hurts to cook good." [Insatiable Critic]
