From Memory to Memoir Shaping the Story for a Family Heritage Cookbook

Treasured recipes and memories are an important part of family history and need to be passed along from generation to generation.  In this series of workshops with writer Rita Papazian, participants will learn how to preserve the memory of family members by recording family events, including special holidays and by collecting family recipes for inclusion in their own memoir cookbook. Emphasis will be on writing strategies, including narrative, description and dialogue. Create your memoir cookbook for family and friends. What could be a better gift to yourself and others? Bring a sample of favorite recipes and photos of your family at the table or in the kitchen.
