Food Writing: Story Telling Through the Sense of Taste

A recipe is just another way of telling a story. And, food, and what happens when people gather around it, is another way of creating sharp, evocative writing. During this class we will use cooking, eating, and gathering as the jumping off point for our writing. Each class will begin by reading a piece of food writing. Students will then be given a prompt based on the reading to create their own essays and narratives. This class will focus on both craft and technique and is designed for students of all writing backgrounds. Please bring pen, paper, and your appetite for words.
