About Pj Huffstutter

HUFFSTUTTER, P.J. is a staff writer at the Los Angeles Times and, since 2003, has covered the country's heartland as the paper's Midwest bureau chief. Huffstutter is a southern California native. She split her childhood between her family's home in Seal Beach, Calif., and her grandparents' farm in Sibley, Iowa. After graduating from the University of California, San Diego, with a degree in psychology, she worked at newspapers in Colorado and California as a general assignment reporter. In 1997, Huffstutter joined the Times as a business reporter covering the dot-com boom in Silicon Valley. Beginning this month, Huffstutter is moving back to Los Angeles and re-joining the paper's business staff, where she will be reporting on agriculture and the food industry - a beat that feeds her passions for gastronomic travel, homemade preserves and interest in French pastries.
