The countless ways we relate to food and cooking – for fun, nurturing, connection, self-expression, and more – seem to inspire as many creative writers as master chefs. Instead of recipes, cookbooks, and diets, this course offers an opportunity to read and discuss selected food-themed short stories representing a wide range of styles and perspectives. The stories will be emailed to participants prior to each of the two sessions.
