Course Description: Writing Workshop: Delicious Food Writing

Taught by experienced recipe creator, food and wine writer, and restaurant critic, Dani Nichols, this class will help you write about the things you taste. Whether it is getting your mother's biscuit recipe out of your head and onto paper for future generations, or reviewing a new hot spot in town for publication. This class will help you generate new ideas, learn to pitch your food and drink pieces for publication, and write descriptive, mouthwatering prose. Whether you want to share a new food tradition or the toast your ancestors made to the good life, you will learn how to write about the food and drink you love, with examples and in-class editorial feedback. Come with a crafted essay or a blank page, and we will explore beverages and food writing.
