My Beginner's Writing Exercises

My class today on Food Writing is basically describing food using similes and metaphors instead of adjectives. Sounds easy? But actually it's a little complicated. I need more practice:)

Here it goes..

Writing Exercise #1

Subject: To write about a particular/favorite fruit.

My chosen fruit is the Lanzones.

One of the tropical gems of my country is the Lanzones. The beige colored, tiny round fruit that comes on vines, resembles the Malaysian Longan only with softer skin with dark brown to black irregular spots. The skin is very thin,soft like a grape and velvety like a purple suede. As the skin is easily torn by hands.. a sweet-tangy mist of Lanzones squeezes towards the air, the scent of ripeness is like a panorama of a vintage summer afternoon, it invites you, convinces you that its humble transparent flesh is cherry-picked.

Writing Exercise # 2

Subject: To write about the last dish you had

The thought of old fashioned Apple Pie is classic as ballet. Every spoonful is graceful as If listening to Sinatra. The bed of soggy, buttery pastry crust and the additional notes of cinnamon and oven caramelised  granny smith creates a symphony of textures. The generous amount of burnt sugar, toasted pecan and crumbs are sediments of a beautiful finale.. It felt as if I was in Serendipity.
