Eat, Darling, Eat (www.EatDarlingEat.net) is a multicultural collection of original stories, by and about mothers and daughters (or the mother figure in your life), each with a connection to something that's shared in all heritages, all generations: FOOD. The stories are not about perfect cooking (or perfect families), but food as the prism for exploring relationships, personalities, and experiences. It shows so much about who we are and how we got here.

At this workshop we will write these stories - you can do them as first-person narratives or in poetry. Your story can be about a specific anecdote, like the "magical thinking" of a mother and daughter baking brownies to protect a son/brother at war. Or, your story might be about immigration, family history, a wonderful (or not so wonderful!) memory associated with food.

The stories told in these collections represent Asian, Indian, African-American, Jewish, and other cultures. And the entire collection has been selected for the Women's and Gender Archive at the U.S. Library of Congress.

At this workshop, you will write about your own mother/daughter story about food, memories, relationships, and life.
