Does anybody edit the recipe section?

Running erroneous copy on the miners was a bad enough blunder, but lately the Houston Chronicle has been making other blunders that have the potential to upset adventurous culinary types among their readership. From recent corrections:

Jan. 6, 2006:

A recipe for cheese enchiladas on Page F2 of Wednesday's Flavor section contained an error. The recipe calls for one 15-ounce can of tomato puree. The complete, corrected recipe will run in the Flavor section Jan. 11.

Dec. 29, 2005:

The recipe for stuffed mirlitons on Page 6 of Wednesday's Flavor section omitted a step. The corrected recipe will run Jan. 4 in Flavor.

Dec. 15, 2005:

A recipe for Crown Jewel Dessert on Page F6 of Wednesday's Flavor section contained an error. The recipe calls for two four-serving-size packages of strawberry gelatin. The corrected recipe will run in the Flavor section Dec. 21.

Typos and other errors are going to happen from time to time, but screwing up recipes three times within thirty days seems excessive, and is likely to upset readers who actually look to the newspaper for such things.
