Blend well.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the recipe for UMW Professor of English Colin Rafferty\u2019s seminar, Let\u2019s Eat: Writing About Food.<\/p>\n<p>Designed to whet appetites for wielding together words, the tantalizing course takes a novel approach to two topics we often take for granted. When it comes to food \u2013 and writing \u2013 we devour the finished product with little thought of the tedious decision-making that went into them.<\/p>\n<p>Students analyzed the rhetoric of cooking shows, read works by famed food authors and \u2013 perhaps everyone\u2019s favorite \u2013 wrote odes to beloved dishes, paired with samples to share. The communal essence of mealtime fosters an atmosphere of creativity and collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy bringing food into the classroom as a subject, we engage the critical thinking skills,\u201d said Rafferty, who\u2019s taught the five-week writing-intensive course since arriving at UMW in 2008. \u201cBy bringing food into the classroom as an actual thing, we build our community. If we eat together, we&#8217;re a group working on our writing together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Summer 2013 was especially satisfying, he said, with a \u201cgreat mix of students \u2026 willing to bring a lot of their lives to the table.\u201d They dined on injera, an Ethiopian flatbread; mochi, Japanese rice cakes; ful, Egyptian-style fava beans; and other ethnic fare. This year\u2019s session was tasty, too, featuring odes to Aunt Candy\u2019s cornbread, Grandma\u2019s soda-pop cake and more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust wrote the phrase \u2018narrative of the pizza sandwich\u2019 on an essay. #summerschool,\u201d Rafferty tweeted in May.<\/p>\n<p>Sink your teeth into these mouthwatering samples of student writing:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18997\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18997\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/umwwebmaster.wpengine.com\/greatminds\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2015\/07\/061515UMWFood055.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"18997\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/greatminds\/2015\/07\/23\/main-course\/061515umwfood055\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/greatminds\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2015\/07\/061515UMWFood055.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"710,472\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"061515UMWFood055\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Associate Professor of English Colin Rafferty looks on as a student in his summer seminar, Let\u2019s Eat: Writing About Food, prepares to serve her classmates.
