For the last few months I've been floundering a bit in Blogland. My blog doesn't really fit into a defined genre, it never has. I can see it becoming in part a parent blog, but for that to happen, we need to become parents and that's in the lap of a God somewhere! Our jobs have changed for both of us and while long term it's a brilliant step forward, for now it means tightening our belts and staying closer to home, so that's put a stop on the travelling/day trip posts that I enjoy doing.
But recently I've dusted off the cookbooks and started to take part in bake-alongs...and I love it! I love baking, I love cooking, I love putting my own slant on a recipe to add something different. Other people seem to like it too and that makes me happy!
So far this week I've gutted and filleted a fish, made egg custard from scratch, made chocolate ganache and had a go at spun sugar (not all for the same recipe)! This weekend I'm going to use my new pasta machine for the first time to make ravioli. My head is in a recipe book for at least an hour every evening and I can't wait to push myself to try something new, something challenging, something inspiring.
My blog won't become an impersonal recipe blog, but I will be showing you what I'm trying out, what works and what doesn't - along with our adventures outside of the kitchen and our home.
I can't wait to get started...I hope you come along for the ride!

ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a great idea....Impersonal recipe blogs do get a bit boring. Glad yours is going to be different! Sounds exciting! Good luck x
Great word, and this all sounds very inspiring! Glad you've found a new passion and a new theme to bog about, too. Thanks for reassuring me that they weren't all from the same recipe, too! Thanks for sharing with #WotW x
ReplyDeleteInspired is a great word! Fab to see you're inspired by your new blog ideas #WotW
ReplyDeleteWelcome back lovely! I have to admit to feeling similar to you about my blog in the past but I just went with my gut on what I enjoyed and that seems to come through in my writing (I hope!) I look forward to seeing much more baking from you (and I see your Week 3 badge on the right, well done!). Thank you for linking to PoCoLo :) x
ReplyDeleteBeen cooking & baking a lot too in the blog lately. DIdnt know that the recipe that I know will make sense to some people but it does! I can see your great blogger bake award too so I can tell that you are good. I will look around your food blog! #wotw
