About

The Food Writing Project seeks, in a structured way, to expose students to food and food writing through workshops, collaborative activities and field trips to local restaurants and food vendors.  Through these experiences, and with the assistance of volunteers, students will write their own blogs.

New York Cares kindly agreed to take on this initiative by providing funds and programming support. Starting in March 2012, the Food Writing Project will pilot its first program at Simon Baruch Middle School with 8 students.

The project is still in its infancy, and there is hope of expanding it to other sites and building a comprehensive, standards-based curriculum.  If you have any ideas, suggestions, questions, comments, etc., you are encouraged to contact Josh Goldblatt at foodwritingproject@gmail.com.
