http://naplesnews.com/staff/doris_reynolds/<p>Doris Reynolds is a long-time contributor to the Wednesday Food section of Neapolitan.</p><p>Reynolds was born in Kane, Pa., and moved to Charleston, S.C., as a young teenager. She dropped out of school, started working, and had a son at a young age. She worked for the Navy, both as a typist and in public relations. Her early struggle paid off years later.</p><p>Reynolds has started and owned several public relations agencies, had a lengthy and successful career as a journalist and author, and even owned a Haitian art studio. She moved to Naples more than 55 years ago.</p><p>She’s traveled much of the world (India, Germany, England, Turkey, Greece and Cuba). Still, Naples is the only place she’d want to live. She’s a bit of a recluse, preferring to work from a studio in her rustic yet beautiful cottage near the beach. Reynolds, who won’t reveal her age, lives there with Lucy, a five-year-old rescue dog. She’s written books (“When Peacocks Were Roasted and Mullet Were Fried” and “Let’s Talk Food”), and is Naples’ official historian. <strong><a href="http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2008/jan/25/my-life-so-far-doris-reynolds/">Read more about Doris in our "My Life So Far" feature on her.</a></strong></p>en-ushttp://naplesnews.com/news/2009/jan/06/doris-reynolds-displaying-wealth-and-status-every-/Doris Reynolds: Displaying wealth and status for every occasion that occurs in life, even deathTue, 06 Jan 2009 22:21:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2009/jan/06/doris-reynolds-displaying-wealth-and-status-every-/http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/30/doris-reynolds-hoppin-john-new-years-tradition-sou/Doris Reynolds: Hoppin’ John a New Year’s tradition in the SouthTue, 30 Dec 2008 21:41:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/30/doris-reynolds-hoppin-john-new-years-tradition-sou/http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/23/doris-reynolds-god-bless-us-every-one-dickens-chri/Doris Reynolds: ‘God bless us every one!’: Dickens’ Christmas story still inspires us Tue, 23 Dec 2008 21:48:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/23/doris-reynolds-god-bless-us-every-one-dickens-chri/http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/16/doris-reynolds-how-panettone-became-milans-famed-c/Doris Reynolds: How panettone became Milan’s famed Christmas breadTue, 16 Dec 2008 21:24:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/16/doris-reynolds-how-panettone-became-milans-famed-c/http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/10/lets-talk-food-cranberrys-holiday-roots-go-back-ea/Let’s Talk Food: Cranberry’s holiday roots go back to early AmericaWed, 10 Dec 2008 22:03:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/10/lets-talk-food-cranberrys-holiday-roots-go-back-ea/http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/02/doris-reynolds-art-pickle-preparation-coming-naple/Doris Reynolds: Art of pickle preparation coming to NaplesTue, 02 Dec 2008 22:57:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/02/doris-reynolds-art-pickle-preparation-coming-naple/http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/nov/25/doris-reynolds-each-thanksgiving-i-remember-flavor/Doris Reynolds: Each Thanksgiving, I remember the flavors of YugoslaviaTue, 25 Nov 2008 21:59:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/nov/25/doris-reynolds-each-thanksgiving-i-remember-flavor/http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/nov/18/mr-and-mrs-gingerbread-decorating-contest-32nd-ann/Mr. and Mrs. Gingerbread Decorating Contest at 32nd annual Festival of LightsTue, 18 Nov 2008 22:14:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/nov/18/mr-and-mrs-gingerbread-decorating-contest-32nd-ann/http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/nov/04/lets-talk-food-quail-becoming-rare-even-hunting-pr/Let’s Talk Food: Quail becoming rare even in hunting preservesTue, 04 Nov 2008 23:50:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/nov/04/lets-talk-food-quail-becoming-rare-even-hunting-pr/http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/oct/28/doris-reynolds-superstitions-not-limited-all-hallo/Doris Reynolds: Superstitions not limited to All Hallow’s EveTue, 28 Oct 2008 21:17:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/oct/28/doris-reynolds-superstitions-not-limited-all-hallo/
