The Incident
During a up-to-date vacation trip when I was asked, "What do you do?" I casually answered, "I'm a food writer."
Food
"What's a food writer?" the gentleman responded.
Not mental for even a moment, I blurted out the obvious, "A food writer is a person who writes about food." Reflecting a moment, I recovered adding more facts on the kinds of articles I'd written and for what magazines. But later the chapter gave me pause to stop and think of just how I could retort that question in the future. After all, how would you retort that question right now?p>
The Person
A food writer is a man with a character and personality great to being a writer who is also:>
o A "foodie" who loves food, tastes, flavors and cooking
o Organized to get and present information
o Able to interview, research, get and verify facts>
The Writer
A food writer also needs knowledge of writing and writing technique in increasing to:
o Use of different writing styles and techniques for a range of publications
oAn ever-increasing knowledge of online and print store publication guidelines
o quarterly writing habits
The Food
What, pray tell, is food? legitimately there are many items which fall under the type of "food", including many things you don't (or can't) eat. Let's think some examples:
o Edible - fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy products, cereals and sea foods
o Seasonings, spices and flavorings
o History and development of foods and edible products
o output of meals and their ingredients
o Cooking implements - including pots, pans, dishes, glasses, silverware, utensils, and cutlery
o Cooking schools and Institutes of the Culinary Artsp>
o Restaurants and food reviews nourishment and diet-related health issues
o risky or potentially risky foods and food products
o Recipes and their variations
o Cookbooks and formula collectionsp>
o Biographies and interviews with Chefs, Cooks and other food-related authorities
o New foods and preparation or manufacturing techniques
These and a seemingly never-ending range of connected issues and topics are all fair game for the astute food writer.
So, if man ever asks you, "What do you do?" you'll be able to formulate just the right kind of mouth-watering response to make them hungry for more.
Bon Appetite!
