Invites students to practice the art of description and to understand the relationship between writing and experience, language and desire. Strengthens aspects of the writer's craft that may be used in other persuasive contexts. From cookbooks, magazines, and websites to restaurant reviews, cultural guides, and television shows, the role of food writing is to inform, but also to foster curiosity and to create a desire in readers to experience what the writer describes. Students will have the opportunity to explore the role of audience, purpose, and context as they read a variety of forms of food writing and practice food writing in print and digital formats.
