Marie Renello
Why do you blog?
My passion has always been cooking and the world of
blogging has been my creative outlet
for this little hobby turned
obsession!
What topic gets people going on your blog?
I can’t say there’s one
specific topic, because the subject of food in general is a very
personal thing and stirs up many emotions along with fond memories
that people have of special traditions and events in their lives.
It could be a post about something as time consuming as making 300
homemade raviolis that will stir up conversations, or something as
simple as a dessert/drink I recently posted about called “Affogato,”
which simply is hot espresso poured over cold gelato. I was amazed
at all the comments that came from that post, from people literally
all over the world.
Sometimes it might even be a photo, or a certain ingredient that I
used, or even a special pot or pan, that revs up a topic for
conversation.
What’s your favorite local blog that nobody has heard of? Coco Cooks
-- A ChiTown food blogger who’s a creative cook, baker, cake
decorator and, an all around interesting person.
What have you learned from blogging? Besides a whole lot of tech-y
stuff, I’ve learned how blogging connects you with so many wonderful
and interesting people with various nationalities, customs and
backgrounds. On any given day I could be talking to people in
several different countries. I can truly say I have made friends all
over the world and I’m always learning new things from them, which
in turn has truly fed my passion for cooking and blogging. And as an
unexpected bonus, I’ve come to know the “people behind the blogs.”
