INTRODUCTION TO FOOD WRITING with Donna Minkowitz
Saturday, June 17, 2017
2:00-5:00 pm
Food writing is some of the most sensual writing around. It can be earthy, lyrical, even cultural and political. But while many people long to write about food, most don't know quite where to start. In this three-hour intensive, students will learn how to write well about the taste, smell, touch, sound, and sight of food; about the emotions and memories that food evokes; and about in each particular instance what food can "mean."
