Cocinar Mexicano food writing and Mexican cooking workshop

Itching to write about food but don’t know where to start?

I just got an alert that there are still a few spots left for Cocinar Mexicano, “a food writing intensive and cooking immersion� week in Tepoztlán, Mexico. Culinary historian and food writer Betty Fussell (“Raising Steaks,� “The Story of Corn,� “Masters of American Cookery,� plus innumerable articles) takes on the writing part of the workshop, while Magda Bogin, founder of Cocinar Mexicano, leads the cooking workshops with village women. Eight days, nine nights, Jan. 4 to 13 at Posada del Tepozteco in Tepoztlán. It’s a beautiful spot, and a nice mix of writing workshop, cooking classes and reveling in the scene and scenery.

Single occupancy, $3950; double occupancy, $3600 per person. Check the website for details. Most everything, with the exception of airfare, is included. Offered through Food 52.
