EVENT
The Food & Words writers' festival is back. Yeah! Even when the original 2021 date back in September was scuppered by the lockdown, we kept our fingers crossed, hoping for another opportunity to present the event before the year's end. With restrictions begining to lift in Sydney and people keen to gather, we're taking a punt and have set another date – Saturday, November 20. It will be same-same (great line up of speakers, all-day refreshments, delicious lunch with wine ...), but also, different (new venue, smaller than usual, and a live stream option).

Food & Words is back
Simple, effective approaches to writing
We teach two powerful food-focussed online writing classes – Write with Intent, where you focus on a personal writing project and Write *great* Newsletters, which unpacks all the elements of a great newsletter. Because we're in the business of food writing and events, our courses are well suited to farmers, food producers and food business owners. But not exclusively. Join us.

PROJECT
A storytelling session about food, books and cooking. Written and presented by Barbara Sweeney, it’s an amusing and thoughtful exploration of this publishing genre and its place in the world. Of particular interest is the handed-down, hand-written recipe book and their stories..
