The Writing Notebook: Food will steer you through writing a book on any culinary subject, whether it’s a cookbook, a food memoir, a book about a specific ingredient, or a sumptuous novel.
For first-time writers or experienced authors, The Writing Notebook will take you to surprising places, spark your imagination, and be your guide to writing your next book.
The only way to write a book is to write it. That's what The Writing Notebook is for. As a guide and workspace, the Writing Notebook offers you writing prompts and activities, suggestions for structuring your book, and enough blank pages in which to start writing it. With description workouts, list-making exercises, a reading list, and ideas for cover design, you’ll never be at a loss for inspiration wherever you are.
The Writing Notebook: Food will prompt you to explore some of the following themes in your book:
- Ways of preparing food
- Conflict in the kitchen
- Images that linger
- Food flops and triumphs
- The emotional potential of food
- Who does the clearing up?
- Stories in a single ingredient
- Land, sea and air
- Colours, seasons and sources
- An appetising table of contents
