          On the first day of class, Alan Richman reminded us that we are writers first. The fact that we collectively choose to write about food is just a matter of personal taste. He inspired us and provided the practical know-how and skills to be brave with one's words and to write as passionately about pasta as a political journalist writes about polls.
