“I identify myself more as a writer who uses food as a way to tell the stories of people than I do as a food writer.”

– Elazar Sontag

Writing about Food (online)

Writing about food can be deep, rich, rewarding. After all, food writing can take practically any form:

  • Cookbooks and recipes
  • Cookbook reviews
  • Culinary travel writing
  • “Foodoirs” (food memoirs) and personal essays
  • Food blogs
  • Profiles of chefs and food producers
  • Reference pieces on food
  • Restaurant reviews—and more

The goal of this workshop: to help you find your voice as a food writer. You’ll think, dream, and write about food. And you’ll leave the experience with:

  • 50 examples of superb published food writing
  • A finished first draft of your own writing—with feedback
  • A set of Master Techniques to rely on in food writing
  • A clear sense of what each form requires

Beginners and non-native speakers of English welcome.
