58 | Sylvia Vaughn Thompson | Sylvia | Thompson | F | Thompson married in the 1950s and moved to New York. She wrote food articles for Vogue magazine. In 1963 she published her first cookbook, Economy Gastronomy. The Budget Gourmet followed in 1974. The Washington Post stated that Thompson's early cookbooks "made cooking with next to nothing seem a great, swaggering adventure." However, her 1977 book Woman’s Day Crockery Cuisine was recalled by the publisher because one of the recipes recommended heating an unopened food tin in a manner that in one case caused it to explode. Thompson is credited as a co-writer of her mother's memoirs, I Just Kept Hoping (1999). Thompson's Feasts and Friends is part memoir, part cookbook. Thompson recounts food experiences at each stage in her life, offering recipes that reflect the various cultures that contributed to her upbringing, including San Joaquin Valley and Russian. The book was well received; a reviewer wrote that "few food writers can so casually capture the flavor of place -- and few are as lucky in the places that have come their way to capture: from a Hollywood childhood to Europe on a shoestring to the good life along the California coast." | Thompson married Gene Thompson in 1958, to whom she was introduced by M. F. K. Fisher's sister, Norah. They have four children, David Oxley Thompson, Dinah Vaughn Sapia, Benjamin Stuart Thompson, and Amanda Thompson. | Thompson married in the 1950s and moved to New York.
