My passion for food, cooking, eating and baking has led me to
discover a new version of cookbooks: blogs.
I’ve found that food blogs
are an enhanced version of a cookbook; they have a never-ending index of
recipes utilizing the most up-to-date trends in food.
New and interesting recipes aren’t the only things I look for when finding a new blog to follow, the wit of the writer is just as important to me.
My all-time favorite blog
is Joy
the Baker. She not only has delicious
recipes, but she includes charm and humor into her edible storytelling.
Some of my other favorites
are:
- 101 Cookbooks
- Smitten Kitchen
Reading
these blogs might be my form of entertainment, but blogs should also be used as
educational tools for industry trends.
As
PR practitioners, it is imperative to stay up to date on the latest news and
trends. Whether working in tech, lifestyle or entertainment, there are blogs to
follow.
I
used to think I wasn’t interested in the tech industry until I started
following the blog Mashable through an
app on my iPhone. Now I find myself curious about Google’s next move or
explaining issues such as SOPA to my friends.
Some other useful tech
blogs include
The
lifestyle industry has always been an interest of mine as well, from food to
travel to hospitality and more.
Some
lifestyle blogs:
Basically
blogs are a fast and fun way to keep informed, learn new facts and remain in
touch with the latest craze.
Whether
following your passion or following your industry, figure out what you love and
immerse yourself in it.
