Do you want to write about food for magazines and newspapers, or do you dream of writing a cookbook? This class will help you understand what food writing is all about --- and help you hone your skills and prepare to enter the business. You will learn how to turn your ideas into pitches that sell, participate in writing exercises that help refine your skills, learn what the various types of food writing are and which is the best fit for you, and learn to match your specific interests to the right publishing outlets. Marge Perry writes a syndicated column for Newsday and is a contributing editor for Cooking Light and Health, a columnist for myrecipes.com, and a former columnist for Better Homes & Gardens and Prevention.

You will work in teams to execute the class menu. At the end of class, participants gather to enjoy the food they have prepared. Wine is served with meals in most classes. All class menus are subject to change. While a snack platter is offered in both morning and evening classes, you may want to consider a light snack before joining us for class. Students are encouraged to bring a light lunch or dinner to all pastry classes.

The farms, orchards and of course vineyards of California's wine country combine to turn the region into one of the most bountiful in the U.S. The kitchens of Napa, Sonoma and the Russian River Valley highlight the quality of the ingredients at hand. Learn to make some of those dishes in your own kitchen, including: fig salad with sweet-spiced walnuts, Gorgonzola and Champagne vinaigrette; pork tenderloin with pan-roasted grapes; scallops with pan-roasted grapes and sauvignon blanc; and warm Dijon potatoes with fresh herbs and peas. You will enjoy these with a selection of California wines.
These desserts are perfect for winter, not just because of their wintry flavors of ginger, peppermint and more, but because of their clever use of fruits that are easily available in winter. And, naturally, you can't forget the chocolate. We'll make: peppermint chocolate truffles; gingerbread cake with chai-spiced frosting; and cranberry and pear crisp.
These exciting holiday dishes are ideal for accompanying delicious craft cocktails, providing a mouthwatering focus for any cosmopolitan gathering! Join us to make small bites and spreads that will amp up your holiday parties and go perfectly with some tipples. Together, we'll make and enjoy pumpkin spice snack mix; ricotta and cranberry jam crostini; duck fat marinated olives; roasted carrot dip with vegetable crudité; grilled lamb chops with yogurt sauce; cider sangria and a Manhattan.
