Writing Salon
A Taste of Memory: Share Your Food Story!
This FREE Writing Salon is open to all our students in Guided Autobiography Levels 1, 2, and 3, their friends, and family. We will meet on zoom.
You can join us, even if you do not have time to write a narrative of your own. We would love to see you again on zoom.
In the Writing Salon we will hear six of your stories. Due to time constraints, just six students will read their stories to all of us. We will randomly select six stories that are submitted.
This Writing Salon theme is Food Memories.
🌟 Write a Story Using All Your Senses 🌟
We invite you to craft an 800–1,000 word narrative about a food, meal, or dining experience that stirs deep memories for you.
✨ Themes You Can Explore:
A childhood memory of a treasured tradition
A food that transports you back to your roots and origins
A unique blend of cultures in a modern-day celebration
A beloved family recipe passed down through generations
🍲 Ideas to Inspire You:
The favorite dish you learned from your mother or grandmother
A festival meal from Passover, Easter, Christmas, Diwali, Ramadan, or another special occasion that holds cherished memories
A birthday meal where you got to choose your dream dinner
The gathering of fall apples for the iconic apple pie cooling on your window ledge
👩🍳 Share a Recipe!
We ask you to reflect on a particular dish with a recipe that has meaning to you. Bring your story to life with the sensory details of cooking, eating, and sharing food—the sights, smells, tastes, and emotions that make it unforgettable.
📚 Why Join?
Your contribution will be part of a collection of stories and recipes—perfect for giving as a unique gift or cherishing for years to come!
