Food for Thought: Recipe Writing

Have you been wanting to capture a family recipe before it's lost to time? Hoping to perfect your own and set them down for posterity? Join author Sarah Lohman for a recipe writing workshop. 

We'll briefly look at the evolution of the written recipe before diving into recipe composition, including the introduction, formatting, weights and measurements, common writing mistakes, the importance of descriptive language, and the process of recipe testing.
