Report User Hello All.
I've started a group on food writing here and I'm hoping it becomes a thriving community of people sharing ideas, markets, information of any kind referring to the art and business of writing about food.
By way of introduction, I am a freelance food and wine writer, as well as a chef and restaurateur. My restaurant, Devotay, has been thriving in Iowa City for nearly 12 years. I write a weekly wine column for our local paper called "Table Wine" and also write regularly for Grist.org, Gather.com, Little Village Magazine, The Iowa Source and many others.
My new book, A Cook's Journey: Slow Food in the Heartland, has just been released.
Hope to get to know all of you here soon!
Wonderful to have you around the community, Kurt.
Lisa AbeytaI worked for several years as a chef's assistant for the community college classes here in Albuquerque and loved the experience. When I left home after college, I knew how to make biscuits, chocolate chip cookies and salad. After my husband and I ate out for the first year of our marriage, I decided I needed to learn to cook. Had I known how much I enjoyed it, I would have gone to school to become a chef. Instead, I wrote about it and ate other chef's wonderful concoctions. And now I'm halfway finished writing my first Foodie Murder Mystery and having a blast.
Congrats on the cookbook, too!
