Addison Trail Creative Writing students share recipes and the stories that make them special

On Dec. 16 and 19, students in Addison Trail English teacher Katie Inzinga’s Creative Writing class participated in a special assignment called “Food for Thought: Writing a Recipe.”

For that project, students shared a recipe, as well as a story that accompanies the dish. They had the option to:

• Write about their memories with a particular recipe
  
  
• Write about the origin of a recipe
  
  
• Write about the process of making a recipe
  
  
• Write a fictional piece that includes a recipe
  
  
• Make the recipe and bring it to share with their peers

The class also invited staff members to participate, and six staff shared recipes that are important to them and brought dishes to pass for a tasting. Items included side dishes, entrées and desserts and represented a variety of cultures.
