The word community is overrated, I know, but it is really possible to create such a thing on line. It is. I'm always surprised when I ask questions to a food blogger and I get a response. I mean, even the Pioneer Woman has e-mailed me back about a cheese muffin recipe measurement doubt I had. Ree is the best.

Oh and have a great 4th of July weekend.
I'll see you again on Monday with a giveaway, ok? o.k!
I think their No. 7 should have been No. 1... I am amazed at how many people post photographs of their food that look like the cat got sick on a plate. Seriously... even though your recipe may put me on cloud nine, unless it looks good, I'm not going to try it! Sure, there are some things like casseroles or bean dishes that may not look super appetizing, but there are always features of the food that can be photographed well, even with a simple point and shoot...
ReplyDeleteI agree...usually if I see "barf on a plate" more than once I don't return. To be a GOOD blogger I think you have to have photography and cooking skills.
ReplyDeleteI will definitely keep visiting this one!;-)
thanks for a great link
ReplyDeleteIt's all about the picture for me too. that's why I tend to share more desserts, it photographs way better than a hot savory dish.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the generosity of food bloggers. I've gotten great advice and mentorship from so many of them, and I try to return the favor by devoting time and energy to the many people who contact me about starting a gluten-free or vegan diet.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of reciprocity among bloggers, thanks for stopping by my blog today! It was lovely to discover another SF food blogger!
