@MyHalalKitchen We don't have one yet. We're going to wait and see how things play out, so we can be sure that everyone who comes is safe and comfortable.

[Food Writers’ Workshop @FoodWriteWork]

It hasn’t been an easy decision, but after much talk, we’ve decided to postpone the 2020 Food Writers’ Workshop.

[Food Writers’ Workshop @FoodWriteWork]

If you have already booked nonrefundable travel, please reach out, and we'll do what we can to make your trip worthwhile. We may be able to host a few people, as well.

[Food Writers’ Workshop @FoodWriteWork]

Please rest assured, we’re still committed to putting on an event this year! We’ll see how things play out over the next few months and announce a date when we have one.

On being asked to write about carribbean food for @nytfood, @Rochelle_Oliver wasnt used to seeing her culture’s food represented, so she spent a year doing the research to make sure it was shown in the best light @BlackFoodFolks
