Course Description:
Food writing plays an integral role in the culinary arts. Concise recipes and persuasive menus, for example, are tools for communication between the culinary professional and the consumer. In this course, students will build on the writing skills acquired at the foundation level while enhancing their knowledge of food. Students will compare and analyze the writing styles found in recipes, menus, essays, newspaper reviews, poetry, food in fiction, journal articles and internet blogs. Through this analysis students will develop their own preferences for expressing a point of view about food in these formats. Students will be expected to develop a culinary-based research project, a personal memoir enriched with recipes, and to participate in class discussions, critiques and formal presentations of projects.
