Upcoming Food Memoir & Cooking Classes

Readin’, Writin’, and Recipes: A Memoir-able Approach to Cooking.

This women’s food memoir and cooking class is a follow on to our highly successful (lots of laughter and a bit of shared sorrow) class that featured vegan desserts. This time, Kendra Bonnett and I will show you how to fix four fantastic vegan soups and four savory salad dressings.

While the soups simmer and the salad dressings chill, you’ll each get to read the food memoir vignette that you’ve brought. It can feature a favorite recipe from your childhood, or the first meal you prepared, or a cooking disaster, or food first tasted in a foreign country, or … We’ll sample soups and salad dressings drizzled on organic romaine. You’ll even get a container to take home with enough soup for two.

The scents of food are great memory triggers. Just conjure up the taste and smell and the stories will soon follow.

Come sip a glass of wine or a cup of tea. Share your vignette with other women. Sample soups and salad dressings (all gluten-free as well as vegan) you’ve helped to make. As an added treat, Kris Maas will join us to give you ideas on how to combine your vignette with the recipe, and even intriguing graphics. Her scrapbooking talents are much appreciated.

DATE: September 28 from 2-5 PM; Fee: $50 includes food memoir feedback, cooking instruction, recipes, soup sampling, salad dressing tasting, wine, tea, and “soup to go.”

Read your cooking memoir vignette and get feedback and ideas for other vignettes that will be treasured by you and your family.

“I enjoyed the whole process. It inspired me to write more and go back to re-write important events for myself and my family.” -T.M.

“The desserts, the memoir vignettes, the friendships made over food and stories — a perfect afternoon. Be sure to let me know about the next class, I can see how to make my next food vignette even better.” –M.K.
