Blog Food Writing is a blog dedicated to showcasing gourmet recipes for people who are interested in both, gourmet and restaurant/potluck cooking. Food blogging represents an intricate interweave of culinary interest, blog writing and photographic photography a combination that can’t be completely described as gourmet/junk food blogging. Most blogs, however, utilize images taken personally by the writer themselves and some of these blogs focus specifically around food photography. Some food blog writers also use blog writing to showcase recipes that they have created and offered to friends and family, while others simply use their blogging platforms as an outlet for launching promotional articles about gourmet cooking that they have found to be popular or that have been successful in achieving the objectives of the author(s).
Most food blog writers begin their blog with a love for food and eventually delve into the various recipes that they find to be most appealing. This may encompass a particular cuisine that the blogger enjoys or it may simply be a hobby or interest in food. Once the food blogging enthusiast has become comfortable writing about food and has developed a following of fans or patrons who have similar tastes and interests, the food writer will begin to engage in blogging about everyday food, or ‘general’ food. As the writer’s interest in food increases so does their ability to blog about food-related events such as cookouts, luncheons, dinners, special occasion parties, etc…
Blogging about food is, in essence, a way for foodies to express themselves creatively about food items that they have found to be tantalizing, yummy or otherwise. Blogging is one way for gourmet foodies to market their own products. A well-designed and regularly updated blog is a powerful marketing tool, especially for those whose food blog niche falls directly within the realm of fine cuisine. For other bloggers, blogging is simply another outlet for sharing ideas, thoughts and recipes whatever may be inspiring a particular blog.
