Weekend Writing Idea – March 21, 2008

Food is an all-around fun topic. It's fun to write about and fun to research. So this weekend, if you need something to write about, write about food. Bypass your desire to capitalize from your grandmother's three-layer, upside-down, German chocolate angel cake recipe, and instead focus on world cuisines. Here are some topics to think about:

Traditional cuisines vs. modern cuisines
Tex-Mex and pizza parlor vs. Mexican and Italian
Ways to bring authentic cuisine into the kitchen
Exotic cuisines/Unknown cuisines
Korean side dishes (or other unusual snack foods) for your cocktail party
Dessert meets bacon (a trend that I hope will go the way of 1950s Jell-o salads)
Haute cuisine chocolates
Vegetarian/Vegan takes on favorite recipes
Molecular gastronomy - what it is/how it works
Ways to make breakfast exciting
Unusual or surprising picnic food choices
