Food Writing Seminar with Mollie Katzen at 826 Valencia!

You remember Mollie Katzen. Moosewood Cookbook? Your gateway drug to that short flirtation with (or lifelong dedication to) vegetarianism? The only way you ever knew anything about spanikopita or brown rice?

Well, this culinary legend is coming to 826 Valencia (a.k.a. the McSweeney's pirate store) for a seminar on November 20, 2008, along with Lessley Anderson of Chow.com, Joe Jarrell of Where and the Guardian, and Scott Youkilis of Maverick and the AWESOME new food magazine Out of the Kitchen.

Join us for an evening discussion on writing about food, and publishing your work. For the first time, we will also be sampling and talking about the food on offer during the evening. When we're not tasting food, our moderator will lead an expert panel in talking about it.

The conversation will range from discussing how to write mouth-watering prose on food—from restaurant reviewing, to recipe-composing and all things in between—and how to publish it.

In addition to reflecting on the writing process, the panelists will address issues related to the publishing aspects of food writing, such as contacting agents, working with publishing houses and newspaper editors, and running a successful blog.
