Hey there Scrawl Nation! You might want to fix a little snack for this episode because it might make you hungry—we’re talking about food writing. This radio team is digging into menus, restaurant reviews, cookbooks, and all the skill it takes to make sure these texts effectively describe what may be life’s greatest joy: food. Writing about food is harder than it seems, since eating a meal is a such a personal and oftentimes intuitive experience. We’ll be looking into that further, and Marina B will be serving us as our host and culinary connoisseur. Sound like something you’d like? Go ahead and take a bite!
Here’s the NYT article Marina B brings up toward the beginning of the episode: “Edna Lewis and the Black Roots of American Cooking.” Check it out!
