I just took this mini course at The Institute of Culinary Education -- How to be a Food Writer, taught by Marge Perry. The 5 hour course, broken in two days, is not enough to get you there, but it is a good start.
Marge Perry runs an exciting and interactive class. She has an amazing sense of humor and tons of experience to offer. It's easy to get lost in conversation with all these other food lovers, but she keeps the pace going in the interest of her class leaving with as much information as possible. The course covers two major parts, the food writing, and pitching (to get yourself published).
I learned a lot, enjoyed myself immensely, and really wanted more. Luckily, she is teaching an 8 week course at Media Bistro.

I read one of the last chapters yesterday which is on the food patterns of the small and diminishing Jew community of India. Again I felt very hungry despite a well balanced dinner of fried beans, pulses, roti (Indian bread) & strawbeery yogurt smoothie |
