Writing about food

This practical course, led by experienced food journalist and tutor, Nikki Spencer, will cover everything from restaurant reviewing and pitching feature and book ideas to blogging and recipe writing. As well as talking and writing about food there will be plenty of opportunities to sample it too, with classroom tastings to get the creative juices flowing, along with a visit to a nearby restaurant (to be paid for by students). The course will also, subject to availability, include Q&A sessions with an established food blogger, a freelance food writer and a food PR.
