• Make sure that your content is original and yours.

• Build up relationships with other blogs, share the love ie leave good comments and build rapport between fellow bloggers.

I cook and blog about all the dishes I prepare, When ever I try new ingredients or create
a new recipe I always have a camera ready to click photos and have a pen and pad to note ingredients and measurements. I have so many recipes in my draft folders waiting to be posted so when I don’t have time to cook and post I use these recipes instead to blog about.

No I work, so as much as I would love to blog full time I can’t so blogging is saved for free
time, but I manage regular posting by auto scheduling my post.

I want to grow my blog audience, bring more awareness to vegetarian cookery and hopefully secure a book deal for a vegetarian cook book that I am currently writing. I cook and blog about all the dishes I prepare, When ever I try new ingredients or create
