COOKING CLASS
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 (now full), 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.
WRITING
TALKING
Join chef Martin Boetz from Cooks Shed and home cook and food writer Barbara Sweeney in this Zoom chat as they talk food, cooking and cookbooks. It's a #bloodylockdown project, only here as long as the Sydney lockdown lasts. Join the conversation.
BYO. Tickets $11.
Every Sunday while lockdown lasts, 5pm
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.
