Whether you want to write a cookbook or articles for magazines, a blog or websites, you need to know the essential skills and techniques it takes to create recipes that not only taste great when you make them but can be successfully recreated by readers. Along with prolific cookbook author and food writer Marge Perry, you’ll learn how to create recipes that appeal to readers; what to do in the kitchen to ensure your recipes work for everyone; and how to write recipes that are accurate, clear and easy to read. In this two-day workshop, we’ll go over the conventions and craft of recipe writing, actually develop a recipe in the kitchen, and practice writing recipes. You’ll come away with a solid and market-ready knowledge of how to create recipes that are ready to be published. Marge Perry has created thousands of recipes for publication, including those for Every Day With Rachael Ray, Cooking Light, Self, Better Homes & Gardens, her longstanding Newsday column, and more. In addition, she has contributed to more than 20 cookbooks and written two of her own. Her writing and recipes appear on many websites, including her blog, A Sweet and Savory Life.
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 sauces you will learn to make in this class are not just for special-occasion dishes you'll prepare once a year. Relying on pantry ingredients and reflecting the contemporary cook's lifestyle, they are meant to easily take a grilled meat or poached fish from simple to superlative with a pan reduction, beurre blanc or a pesto. You will master these techniques by making sauteed steak with red wine reduction sauce; poached salmon with beurre blanc and pasta with pesto.
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.
