So here is another food blog. Either I am obsessed or I am
just not that creative. Comparing it to last weeks blog, I find this one more
my style. Rather then going out, it’s recipes for your own DYI gourmet, and
homey eating!
All the commenters appear to be other food/cooking lovers,
who appreciate the art of using the right tools, and fresh ingredients. In
other words, they are all pretty passionate.
As stereotypical as this is, I assumed all the commenters
would fall into a “stay at home mom” kind of category. I was very wrong! There
are a quite diverse community that seam to follow the blog pretty intently. All
of the posts these people make are very positive as well. Keep in mind that
most of the comments have posted before the individual has tried the recipe!
Everyone uses real (or what appear to be real) first names,
and pictures of themselves (again, they appear be a real picture). Every other
comment is the actual author, so she obviously truly values her followers. This
creates a good sharing experience, or at least that is how I would feel!
I find it quite interesting the passion of the commenters, I like how you pointed out this this is quite obviously a blog with a dedicated fallowing; as is shown by the community by reproducing the recipe that the author suggested. I do believe that the use of real names is one of the strong points of this blog.
ReplyDeleteGood post!
I think that food blogs might be one of the fastest growing segments of the blog world. I personally love watching the food network. One of my guilty pleasures is to spend an entire Saturday on the couch in my PJs watching TV shows about food. I think that this is a topic that also crosses over into politics, economics and health care because people are starting to become more aware of where their food is coming from. The internet is a valuable tool for people to understand the implications of food production and it empowers people to be creative about locally available food.
ReplyDeleteGahh... Reading posts about food, or watching television shows about food, never fail to make me hungry. Seriously though? Food blogs are great. Something about sharing a recipe is both simple, and excellent when it comes to connecting to people. Its like sharing a habit, or experience first hand. It allows you to share a creation, and modify and change other peoples creations.
ReplyDeleteahh those apple strudels at the beginning look amazing! I agree with you, I follow food blogs and I think I am not creative either and why these people can think of these things? It looks like these people commenting really enjoy what this chef is doing and he has a strong fan base.
