WORKSHOPS AT MY KITCHEN TABLE IN SW LONDON

Next date Saturday 9 September 2023

Bespoke workshops for PR co & private events & individual mentoring

If you spend most of your time thinking about food,  writing is a hugely satisfying way to develop your knowledge and passion.

Do you dream of becoming a food writer or restaurant critic?

Have you an idea for a food or travel feature, a Substack?

Do you fantasise about writing a cook book or memoir and want to know how to go about writing a proposal and finding an agent/publisher?

Or are you already working in food, perhaps as a chef or running a food business or in PR or digital marketing, yet yearning for a more creative role or to fine hone your writing skills to get published?

I will teach you how to put your passion into practice over a 5 hour workshop with coffee breaks and a slap-up lunch with wine (cooked by me) at my Balham home in my beautiful kitchen.

Whether you want to spread your joy and expertise in a particular cuisine and share your recipes; explore your culinary heritage; voice your opinions on restaurants; share your food producer discoveries; or improve the content of your website or social media postings; my workshops will inspire and give you the tools and insider knowledge.

I am a globally published food writer & author who writes for The Telegraph, Femail, FT.com, Rolls Royce Magazine, Fine Dinings Lovers and Delicious. I wrote bestselling “How to be a Better Foodie” (I was and remain truly in the vanguard!) and “Flipping Good: pancakes around the world.”

WORKSHOP COST £145 pp 10.30am-4.30pm including coffee with homemade biscuits, a splendid lunch with wine & a memorable day

What the food writing workshop covers: 

Develop your own voice & whether to be a specialist or generalist

Coming up with irresistible ideas & who to pitch to and how

How not to annoy your editors & get more work

How to write a book proposal & do I need an agent?

I will share plenty of anecdotes from my, often culinarily decadent, life with the world’s most talked about chefs, restaurants & food events & travels

TWO of my recent workshop attendees have got brilliant book deals:

WHO IS SUDI FOODIE?

My work has taken me around the globe: making agnoletti with Massimo Bottura’s pasta guru; champagne pairing with Dom Perignon’s cellar master, discovering Elena Arzak’s favourite pintxos in San Sebastian, foraging with Rene Redzepi in Friuli-Venezia; and, most recently, experiencing the mesmerising, ingredient-led food at Bruno Verjus’s Table in Paris, the highest new entry in World’s 50 Best Restaurants 23.
