Food Bloggers—Hip Hip Hurrayyyy!!!!

Well there’s no particular reason I can attribute to not blogging these days/months. I wonder if this is the impact of being married. I felt so because Vijay who was an avid blogger has also stopped blogging after marriage. Maybe it’s some marriage syndrome affecting our writing skills. But that would be very lame because I find all the time in the world now than before when I would have to run head over heels to complete my chores.

These days im spending more time on Food Blogs. I can proudly declare that internet is teaching me everything ;from cooking to current affairs. As long as I was in India, I never had to really resort to internet simply because everything was available on a different medium, and I never took the pains to hit the keys to learn anything other than my studies related stuff.But now all of a sudden google is my life. I cant think of passing even a single day without googling anything. Thanks to Larry Page and Sergey Brin( even for that I had to google just to make sure that I type their names right…. What an irony!!)
Day in and day out I would keep checking the food blogs, so that I can learn new recipes. That keeps me hooked on to it. Its simply not about the recipe by itself. It involves a lot of backstage work for it like photography and presentation. Cooking by itself is an art. That being coupled with photography, writing skills and all that makes it even more special. I honestly admire the bloggers initiative to share their ideas with others. It does not end there. These Food bloggers are also interlinked. They keep hosting competitions under various themes and encourage everyone to participate. And thereby the bloggers have an opportunity to display their talents and compete with others. The bloggers also communicate by means of accessing the comments page and improvise their recipes by getting in touch with their fans . They also post recipes that their fans send them. Its very interesting to know that they diligently work on their hobby and take it to the next level. For amateurs like me, its such a blessing. It helps me sustain through all my parties and potlucks. Hats off to all Food Bloggers. They have extended my food knowledge and helped in innovation. My favourite indian blogsites are :
Cookingandme.com
Showmethecurry.com
Cooking4allseasons.com
I dedicate this post to all Food Bloggers. Keep up your spirits. Hoping that I would also join their league one day….
