Won't leave people alone....acts like a child. Has no regard for the saftey to others. Someone needs to take her away and institutionalize her. I grew up with her and she doesn't shower at all and is up all night afraid people are out to get her. Please she such a loser and so not important to sociaty. No one cares about her. She is so emaotioanlly retarded and a pathological liar. She get s everything bad that happens to her. She's getting evicted soon...landlord file paperwork to get her out of here...set for July. Doesn't work...how does she make money? My guess panhandles or cons money from people. What a low life. I seriously think she has paranoid personality disorder…she is very strange.

You haven't heard of her because she hasn't done anything but put out a sub-par magazine. I don't know what sparked H.W.'s rant, but mine starts with having read the premier issue of her awful magazine and then seeing this: http://foodnetworkhumor.com/2009/09/editor-of-food-magazine-needs-ego-check/ Just mind-blowingly childish. After seeing her work and then this she comes off as someone who only made it into the industry by connections. Certainly not talent or class. @ Maids, Candus is a strange, self-important blowhard.

Count me firmly in the "Cooks Illustrated" has to stay column...I have a healthy respect for anyone who cooks thirty-five versions of a dish to find that <i>perfect</i> recipe.

Who the hell is Candus Jane Zanghi? And why does Warren Beatty hate her so much? She doesn't even have a page on wikipedia....

Beatty I've read many food and dinning related magazines before, your publication is the worse. Now that might be harsh for an independent and brand new magazine, however it is above all accurate. From the start let's think about the magazine and publishing efforts, in today's shrinking economy and expansion of digital media, why print a niche magazine?. For a young magazine with limited funding and market, why aren't you more forward thinking. The only ideas that will last in this economy must breathe a new life into the way that we consume information. You lack the basic skills to recognize meta data as a necessity with today's media. People love to explore idea and yet you do nothing to encourage with limited media thinking. Yes the internet is great, blogs are fantastic, however they are even better when they are weaved into our daily lives. The magazine should be a starting point, not an end, your website is dated and unimaginative as is your magazine name. Second, there is the actual content. it can be summarized as amateur. The recipes are simply re-prints which I already own, and the chefs are only there because they are celebrities on the food network/ top chef. I'm not debating their skill, it just we in the food world have already read it, made it, enjoyed it. And the magazine seems to dwell on their status more than food. We love the new, who are the new chefs, where are they taking food and how can we join the ride. All point which your print fails to achieve. The new food market aren't housewives they are the young vibrant foodies, who wake up early to get the best produce and deals, who appreciated the flavors, beauty and ritual that is cooking. It's time to stop take a breath and think about food, like we in society are all starting to do. Sincerely, H.W. Beatty P.S. Annette enjoyed the article on chef Ripert To: Candus Jane Zanghi
