If you're not a foodie, you might have a hard time understanding why someone would want to blog about the food they're eating. Just consider all the skills that are involved; food bloggers do everything other bloggers do, but blogs focused on home cooking have to find blog-worthy recipes, cook, style the food, take photos, edit the photos, and do the dishes, and then we can post. Even food bloggers who mostly talk about restaurants have to visit the restaurant, take photos, and edit them before they do any actual blogging. I don't mean to imply that writing a food blog is necessarily harder than other types of blogging, but there's no question that it's different.
For people who eat to live, as opposed to those of us who live to eat, the whole phenomenon of food blogs may seem rather strange. It doesn't help that attempts by food magazines or even fellow food bloggers to comment about the nature of food blogs sometimes create more controversy than understanding. But finally there's an article about food blogging that can help explain what the whole food blog buzz is about. Appearing in the latest issue of Sauce Magazine, Blogher Food Editor Alanna Kellogg has written a an insightful view into the world of food blogging that should be an enlightening read for other bloggers, food writers, or anyone who might be sincerely wondering just why people would want to blog about their food.
Don't miss the list of food blog links on the right if you want to see some examples of the very best food blogs out there. And since new, high quality food blogs are popping up all the time, this list is only the beginning. We cook, we take photos, and we write, and we're here to tell you about it.
Contributing Editor Kalyn Denny had no idea that the whole food blog community even existed when she started Kalyn's Kitchen as a place where friends could access her recipes!
