Today Marty Martindale concentrates of food and cruise writing. A social/cultural anthropology major, she has been writing non-fiction for over 30 years, and to this she brought a background in broadcasting, copywriting and hospitality marketing. Her food and travel writing has taken her to most points in the Caribbean, twice to Brazil, the length of Central America and along the Mediterranean. Though a native New Englander, she now lives on the west coast of Florida with years spent in New Mexico and Mississippi’s Gulf Coast. She started her cruise industry experience as a cruise business editor for an international weekly and soon added first-hand knowledge of megaships, panamaxes, elderhostel study cruises, exotic small ships, paddlewheelers, freighters, and spartan adventurers to luxury cruising with a penthouse and a butler. This was in stark contrast to her first cruise aboard the Yarmouth Castle, four bunks to a cabin with a bath-down-the-hall, during its "whirlwind" $89 cruise package to the ports of Cap Haitian and Santa Domingo. The Castle sank the same year, 1965. Martindale has published work in business and travel publications ranging from Collette Tours Adventures, Journal of College Placement, Cruise and Vacation Views, several encyclopedias of foods, Gale Publications, Gourmet Retailer to pop-psych pieces for the National Enquirer. In 2001, Martindale founded http://www.FoodSiteoftheDay.com which hosts guest columnists and daily features websites concerning themselves with recipes, food news, ethnic offerings, ideas, history, trends, food customs and information centers. The site contains a collection of over 2,000 subject-searchable food sites featured over the last seven years. The site’s goal is to use the web to share local food customs worldwide. Martindale’s memberships include the International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP), the Association for the Study of Food & Study (ASFS) and the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ). She is recipient of an Addy Broadcasting Award and the 2005 Cordon d’Or Crystal Globe Website Award for Food Site of the Day. Her email address is: mm@FoodSiteoftheDay.com
