We create a happy melange, bringing food, hospitality and farming professionals, writers, artists, thought leaders and generally awesome people together to explore ideas and things that matter. Like food, books and words.

We organise food events
with a literary bent & teach online (food) writing courses

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.

EVENT

Food & Words has had to cancel our planned outing to Canberra in September 2021. The Covid-19 restrictions presented too high a risk for a small business to take, especially when our program meant bringing interstate speakers and guest into Canberra with no surity, should the virus flare, of getting them home again. For updates on new dates be sure to sign up to our newsletter as that's where we announce upcoming events.

This event has been cancelled

Canberra

In the spirit of reconciliation, I acknowledge the traditional custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. I pay my respects to their Elders past and present and extend that repect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
