If you’ve ever experienced the frustration of recreating family recipes (“a pinch of this,” “a touch of that,” “add to taste”) why not learn how to write them the right way? Former Gourmet editor Shelley Wiseman is teaching a recipe-writing class for Mediabistro that kicks off Monday, November 2. In just four weeks, you can become the kitchen authority Grandma always hoped for (6:45–9:45 PM; $350 per person, $325 for Avant Guild members; register here).
