Having an actual food editor teach the class was invaluable. Gabriella not only guided us in how to break into food writing, but took time to provide individual critiques. She put in just as much work as her students did." -- Melissa Brody\n\n"Gabriella was outstanding. She was able to nurture the innate talents of class members without coddling. She was unfailingly generous with her time both in class and via email outside of it and tapped her own network of writers and editors to bring interesting, experienced speakers to class. We all developed a real sense of community, rooting for each other to succeed." -- Noel Eisenberg\n\n
