Food writer

I think I would write a book about foraging and cooking wild food. It is fun -- you never know what you will find --, healthy -- no packaging and pesticides --, and tasty -- wild vegetables are more tasty than garden vegetables, and there are also new tastes to discover --. There are already a lot of books on this subject, but it is always possible to have an original and creative approach.

I am not really sure, since I do not really enjoy cooking. I do like eating, though. I would probably write about how to add a larger variety of fresh vegetables to dishes to make them healthier without making them appear to be "too healthy to taste good". I would also add recipes that substitute some vegetables for pastas, such as using spaghetti squash instead of spaghetti, which also helps in weight loss and controlling Diabetes.

i would probably write about the same thing and what to look for when shopping, sales, meal planning, etc. i am all about saving money while you shop! (especially with the crazy way the price of groceries are going).

MY friend, if I'm a food writer I would write how to cook without oil. We consume so much oil through our food. Food made by mixing oil is responsible to create fat in our body. In consequence we become fatty and affected by diseases like diabetes,hypertension, cardiac problem etc. All are fatal diseases. So am I right?

I don't know if I'd like to be a food writer but I'd love a job as a food critic, you know go to different resteraunts and try their food and then rate it, good or bad. If the company pays for the meal , that would be a bonus too.

I would write about how to properly handle meat and vegetables - from cleaning, storing, thawing and cooking. Here in our place, not many people know how to handle meat well. While its good to cook delicious meals, its also important to know how to make sure that your food supply is free from bacteria that could cause food poisoning and know how to prevent deterioration to happen too soon. I have been reading articles about such, and realized that there are certain practices that we've been doing that should be changed, like thawing meat on the table counter. Apparently, this allows bacteria to contaminate the meat. So, the best way to thaw is either using the microwave or leave it in the fridge (out of the freezer).

Actually, this is a great profession. I have a friend who is a food writer and critic because she loves food, and she makes a lot of money doing it.

I think I would be most interested in ethnic food, and I would love to be a restaurant reviewer of ethnice restaurants. We ate at wonderful Turkish and Russian restaurants in Montreal, Croatian restaurants in Mississauga, and a beautiful Serbian restaurant in Kitchener, where we'll be eating again this week, because my accountant's office is right around the corner. all those restaurants would have gotten good reviews from us.

If I were a food writer, I would write about local dishes made here in the Philippines. Each province has their own way of cooking a dish and it makes it quite interesting. Like this soup dish that we call "Sinigang". It's a sour soup made from either pork, shrimp, beef, chicken or fish. It's the souring agent that makes the dish different from one province to another. One province would use tamarind, another guavas, others would use a very sour fruit that we call "Kamias". What's interesting is when I visited the Cordilleras which is at the northern part of my country, they make their "sinigang" with tomatoes. So, it was like tomato soup but they call it 'sinigang'. I would also like to write about some dishes that are no longer being cooked or made because it has become too tedious and sadly my country is slowly becoming a land of instant noodles and hotdogs and fast food. There are a lot of dishes that have Spanish origins but are very hard to cook, like our lengua estofada (cow's tongue) and other dishes. When I go to a restaurant that boasts of serving Filipino cuisine, I see everyday common food that I can buy anywhere. I guess if given a chance, I would write to revive long forgotten or nearly forgotten dishes of my country.

I would write about all my creative nutritious makeshift dishes and give the recipes of these.I am planning to do this already.

I thought you started this discussion before or one very similar. wild food, like right now I have a discussion going about wild tea.

I would write about my favorite foods mostly southern cuisine such as southern fried chicken, other fried foods like pork chops, seafoods,etc. Also Creole cuisine like gumbo, red beans and rice.

Hi Anne, I don't think I would ever write about food as I am too busy enjoying eating it but would love to read about your frugal cooking. I call my leftover meals Ellie's Mish Mash Meals and some of them are better than any I have come across in a recipe book. Huggles. Ellie :D

i always wanted to do a food show about cooking with parchament paper, it is very good to cook food on, everything gets cooked so evenly and even crispy, it makes great hamburgers, hot dogs, french fries, anything you can bake try it on parchament paper just add to pan and place food on and put in oven see if you can tell the difference.. that is what i would write on ..

I do sometimes write about food. I usually write about basic, forgotten or almost forgotten recipes or methods. For instance, how to make sugar from sugar beets or drinks we've forgotten about like corn silk tea or toasted barley coffee. I enjoy unusual things, so that's what I like to write about.

I think I would write alittle about new fands and interesting new types of food I may have found along the way. I would write about new kitchen tools I have found. And I would write about frugal ways too. ALittle of everything I think I would like to read about in such an article or blog.

if i would be a food writer i would be more on pastries, cakes and dessert since i am that type of person..

I like your idea of frugal cooking. I guess if I was going to write about food it would be from the angle of nutrition. Maybe combine it with your idea and write about how to eat healthy while being frugal!

I too would write about frugal gourmet buying cheaper meats and making them yummy. I must say though I was starting about starting a blog. I want to maybe posting old recipes. I collect them vintage recipes. I go to flea markets and garage sales and buy up anything from church groups or hand written. I think maybe I am not the only one interested in them.

I would like to write about pizza and pasta. I loved those kind of food.
