🎶 Sometimes it’s hard to be a cook… when your pan won’t behave the way it should… 🎶 And yet — you stand by your pan. Through the sticking.Through the burning.Through that moment you realise… it was never preheated properly. Stand by your pan. Because just like in the song, loyalty is tested. One minute it’s ruining your onions… the next it’s giving you that perfect golden sear like nothing ever happened. Cooking — like writing — requires a certain level of forgiveness. Inside SKOOL OF FOOD WRITING, we take all those moments — the good, the bad, and the slightly smoky — and turn them into stories worth sharing. 👉 Be honest… have you ever blamed the pan when it was definitely you? https://www.skool.com/how-to-write-about-food-8335/about

Not just in your food… but in how you express it. You can have great ingredients — ideas, experiences, even talent —but without the right balance, it all falls a bit flat. Too safe… and it’s bland.Too much… and it’s overwhelming.But when it’s just right — people remember it. That’s how good writing works. A pinch of detail.A dash of feeling.And enough confidence to let your voice come through. That’s what I focus on — helping people turn everyday food experiences into writing that actually tastes like something. 👉 If your writing had a flavour right now… what would it be? https://www.skool.com/how-to-write-about-food-8335/about

Not more chaos… not more to-do lists…just a bit more spark in the moments you’re already living. We eat, we notice things, we have those small, lovely experiences —and then… we describe them as “nice.” (Which is the culinary equivalent of plain toast.) Writing is like cooking. Add a little detail, a touch of feeling, a hint of personality —and suddenly something simple becomes memorable. That’s what I focus on — helping people turn everyday food moments into writing that actually has flavour. 👉 If your last meal had a personality… what would it be? https://www.skool.com/how-to-write-about-food-8335/about

.I’ve owned two restaurants in my life. The first was in a bohemian suburb in Johannesburg, during Apartheid. At the end of the evening — once the doors were closed and the last guest had gone — we’d take the music outside. “Free Nelson Mandela” playing loudly.A forbidden song. And there we were… dancing in the street. It wasn’t planned. It wasn’t written down.But it was real. And that’s the thing about food — the moments that stay with us are rarely just about the dish. They’re about what’s happening around it. The energy, the people, the feeling in the air. Yet when most people try to write about food, they strip all of that away. They reduce something alive into something flat. That’s the gap I focus on inside my SKOOL OF FOOD WRITING — helping people translate real food experiences into writing that actually carries meaning. If you had to describe a food moment that meant something to you — could you do it in a way someone else could truly feel? I'd sincerely like to know. https://www.skool.com/how-to-write-about-food-8335/about
