Come use all five senses, as well as plates full of adjectives, metaphors, and similes, to learn how to bring food to life on paper. Together we'll explore the work of famous food writers, what different cultures eat, how to create food characters and more. Have fun sharing your work at the end of our session in a celebratory group reading.

Class content
Our focus will be on writing about many different aspects of food.  Here are the class topics we are going to tackle together (subject to change):


Be a food detective! Research the origins and interesting details about a certain food you're curious about and then tell us all about it in writing.

Hunger Among Us: After learning facts about hunger in the San Francisco community, write a letter to the Mayor recommending your original solution to the problem.

There's a Fly in My Soup! Create a funny (and mildly gross) story of a food mishap.

Family Recipes & Celebrations: Think of Christmas, Easter, Passover, Thanksgiving, 4th of July picnics, and big birthdays. What is usually the centerpiece of these celebrations? (FOOD!) What does it mean when something is a tradition in your family? We're going to write a detailed scene about a family celebration and its food!
