Readers to get a taste of her recipes in the September issue

TORONTO, April 16 /CNW/ - Acclaimed food writer Amy Rosen has been named food editor of Canadian House & Home (H&H) and Maison & Demeure (M&D) magazines. Rosen, who has been a frequent contributor to publications such as Maclean's and Chatelaine in Canada, and to Food & Wine in the U.S., is well known to food lovers on both sides of the border. Her popular cookbooks and her columns in The Globe and Mail and the National Post make her an ideal choice for Canada's premier home and lifestyle magazines.

"Amy's ability to spot food trends on both the Canadian and international scene will be a huge asset," says H&H Editor Suzanne Dimma.

Readers will have the pleasure of reading Amy's recipes and advice beginning with the September 2010 issue, on newsstands August 3rd. Houseandhome.com users will enjoy the entertaining food blog posts that Amy is well known for. In addition, avid cooks will be able to watch Amy's cooking demos and get exclusive recipes on House & Home Television, now available online.

"H&H food is a growing section in our magazine, and always a favourite segment on H&H TV," says Lynda Reeves, House & Home Media President. "Amy's energy and love of food will be a great plus for our brand."

With 2.3 million readers and monthly coverage of food news and trends, award winning editorial and beautifully photographed custom recipes, food is a unique strength of House & Home. In fact, PMB research shows that H&H readers are the most active home entertainers in Canada. Their 305 million trips to the grocery store every year, where they spend over $15 billion, make them a key target for food advertisers.

"We are known for our great entertaining pages, so our food advertisers will especially appreciate Amy's plan to add easy recipes for busy moms with families," adds Kirby Miller, Senior Vice-President and General Manager of House & Home Media.
