Welcome to our Virtual Holiday Potluck, we’ve been waiting for you. Pull up a seat and whet your taste buds. You’re in for a dining experience like no other.

We asked the writing community to help us create the perfect menu. A little something for everyone.

We asked for actual meal recipes with a writerly flare, grandma’s secret ingredient, cocktails with a twist, a recipe for disaster, a recipe for how to be a good human, a recipe to bury a body. We encouraged them to be creative. Be festive. Have fun. Make us laugh. Make us cry. Make us think.

Now it’s your turn, dinner guests. Sample the offerings laid out before you. Vote for your favourite by leaving a tip. The top 3 recipes with the most tips will receive prizes.

All proceeds go to support AWCS general operations.

We hope you enjoy what’s been cooked up. Can’t sample all the recipes in one sitting? No problem. It’s a week long dinner party.

Can’t decide on a recipe because they’re all so good? Salt & Pepper it and we’ll sprinkle the tips evenly across all recipes.
