food writing
Restaurant reviews, recipes
Food writing is prose about food—its preparation, consumption, culture, and pleasures.
The genre spans restaurant reviews, cookbook introductions, memoirs centered on eating, and journalism about culinary trends.
Good food writing evokes taste and texture through language: Her food writing made you hungry just reading it.
The term distinguishes literary or journalistic work about food from recipes themselves.
