Mom always told me not to talk with my mouth full. But that's just what Leite's Culinaria wants local food writers to do for a project about food writing. Launched last year in New York City, now spreading around the country, "Talking With Your Mouth Full" is a night of reading by food writers "to highlight the versatility of the craft."
Contact for Seattle is Kathleen Flinn, author of the soon-to-be-published memoir of a year at the Cordon Bleu in Paris: The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry. (Great title!)
The reading itself, at Hugo House, isn't until November, but the deadline for submissions is June 1. Check out the inaugural New York event this past January, then send in your flavorful musings.
And while we're at it, should mention that Leite's Culinaria was the online winner for the James Beard food writing awards. Seattle P-I'sRebekah Denn won for restaurant reviews (Bravo, Rebekah!). John Sundstrom of Lark was named best chef in the Northwest (Bravo, John!).
French Chef Sally is my friend Sally McArthur, who hosts luxurious,
week-long cooking classes at the Chateau du Riveau in the Loire Valley.
