What foods and food rituals have meaning to you this winter holiday season?

PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED

Like cooking, writing is the process of pulling together raw ingredients with inspiration to create a work of art, such as a poem. Food and the rituals associated with it may generate powerful emotions and can inspire strong writing. The holiday season may be a joyful or stressful time. We will write our way through with writing exercises and prompts about food and rituals, memories around a kitchen table, eating habits during economic or political uncertainty, travel, gathering with family, friends, or solo, childhood experiences and whatever fall and winter traditions (religious or not) you choose to acknowledge.
