Keeping it fresh and interesting, accurate and useful is a constant challenge, but it's so very rewarding.
Stories about food bring back memories for people. They summon up romance and feelings of comfort. They can make the mouth water or the lips pucker. Recipes let even the beginner cook branch out into new worlds. They must be accurate and easy, or, for the more advanced cook, challenging enough to let them learn a few things too.

Our adventures with food are the narratives of our days and lives ? funny, touching, frustrating and delicious.
And that's why you should all come to the Slow Food Seacoast Food Writers' Night from 5 to 8:30 p.m., Sunday, April 22. Yes, this week's column is a shameless plug for an event I'm participating in with four terrific food writers. The event is at Street Food 360 at 801 Islington St., in Portsmouth. There and then, you'll be treated to a night of great food, great company and great food writing, all to benefit Slow Food Seacoast.
It's $60 and you'll get food created by Street Food 360 chefs, all based on recipes from the five authors who will be reading, as well as coffee and dessert at the end (dessert from Beach Pea Baking and Byrne and Carlson). There will be plenty of oysters, too (from J.P.'s Shellfish and Island Creek Oysters). Nice.

After some noshing and imbibing from the cash bar, complete with special cocktail, the five authors will read from their work and after, we can all hang out for dessert and more imbibing. I can walk home, which is great. You can order the books through RiverRun Bookstore and have the authors sign them when you're at the event.
Tickets are limited and you can buy them at www.slowfoodseacoast.com.
So, who are these food writers?
One of them is Joe Yonan. He's the food and travel editor of The Washington Post (formerly at the Boston Globe). The team at the Post has twice been awarded the James Beard Foundation award for the nation's best newspaper food section. He also writes features for both Food and Travel, including the monthly "Cooking for One" column, which won honors from the Association of Food Journalists. He's the author of "Serve Yourself: Nightly Adventures in Cooking for One," from Ten Speed Press, and the coauthor of "The Fearless Chef" with Boston chef Andy Husbands. Now, he's up in the Berwick area homesteading for a year and writing about it. Check out his blog at www.joeyonan.com.
Also living in South Berwick, Maine, is Kathy Gunst, author of 14 cookbooks including the Stonewall Kitchen series and her new and wonderfully readable "Notes from a Maine Kitchen." She's resident chef of Public Radio's "Here & Now," works with students at Central School in South Berwick to help them grow and learn about fresh food and writes for Downeast Magazine. Find her blog on Downeast Magazine at www.downeast.com/blogs/notesfromamainekitchen, www.kathygunst.com.
Amy Traverso is food editor of Yankee Magazine and the author of "The Apple Lovers Cookbook," an International Association of Culinary Professionals finalist. Previously, she was food editor at Boston Magazine and an associate food editor at Sunset Magazine. Her work has also appeared in The Boston Globe, Salon.com, and Travel & Leisure, and she has appeared on "The Martha Stewart Show," "Throwdown with Bobby Flay," and Gordon Ramsay's "Kitchen Nightmares." http://appleloverscookbook.com.
Then we have Erin Murray, author of "Shucked: Life on a New England Oyster Farm." While food editor at Daily Candy Boston, she met with a sales rep from Island Creek Oyster Farm, decided to quit her job and spend a year harvesting, hauling, and counting oysters with their crew. She wrote a book about her experiences out in the cold harvesting oysters and what she learned along the way. Read her blog here: http://shucked.wordpress.com/
Of course, I'll be there too. I am the restaurant reviewer/food writer for the Portsmouth Herald and author of "Maine Classics: More than 150 Delicious Recipes from Downeast," which I wrote with Mark Gaier and Clark Frasier from Arrows Restaurant. I'm not sure what I'll be reading yet, but you'll certainly get to sample dishes from recipes in the book. I'll likely mix in some columns and samples from my novel in progress, which has a heavy food element.
As each author reads, guests will savor and sample prepared dishes from recipes in the author's books. The evening will also highlight an abundance of oysters from the region, and an opportunity to experience a taste of place. Tickets are $60 and include food, readings, coffee and dessert. Proceeds from this fund-raiser support ongoing educational programs and heirloom seed distribution for Slow Food projects within our community. Tickets are limited, so register as soon as possible to reserve a space for what promises to be an incredible evening of food and fun. Sponsors include Organic Valley Cooperative Dairy, J.P.'s Shellfish, Island Creek Oysters, Beach Pea Baking Co., Byrne and Carlson Chocolatier, Favorite Foods, RiverRun Bookstore and Haigh & Martino.
