ALL
Summary:
In this workshop, Gemma will encourage participants to write and review food and beverages in a not-quite-traditional manner. We’ll focus on the writer’s natural voice and interests, draw upon references seemingly unrelated to food and try to pinpoint what it is which draws us toward particular examples of writing about food.
