Questions for Simply Sundays from Emmi’s Little Cookin World :
We both come from Italian – Irish families and food has always been associated with parties, holidays and get-togethers. Many of the recipes in our blog are based on recipes we remember enjoying while growing up and that have been shared with us from family members.
I’m not sure I can pick one best thing but I’m sure it involved some type of cheese! If you ask my husband, he’d say veal shank osso buco or braised short ribs.
I think it’s more the reaction of those who enjoy our food that inspires us more than a specific type of food. We have been having a lot of fun with international dishes. They seem to be the most popular on our blog!
This is quite a journey for the four of us! Our children are generally standing with their dinner plates waiting to be fed while we get “just one last shot” of the ‘show plate’, as we all playfully call it. Both kids like to be involved in cooking and even writing a few blogs themselves. We’re not sure where we’re going with this, but so far the road has been a lot of fun!
We started seriously blogging in August 2015. It started as a fun hobby and the more we blogged, the more addicting it became!
What great venues to get our name out there and to connect with people! Twitter has by far been the most successful for us.
It’s actually been amazing to see the amount of “organic” followers we have generated just by word of mouth and by following those with similar interests.
We take photos almost each night of what we’re cooking and quite a bit on the weekends. I like to write posts earlier in the morning while my husband prefers later at night.
When it comes to measurements or correct terminology or even the history of a certain food or dish, we go to Google!
Since both my husband and I write up the blogs, we each proof & edit each other’s post before publishing.
I would have to say “Mario Batali’s Molto Italiano”. This cookbook literally lives on our countertop in a stand and we’ve made so many of the delicious recipes, its second nature to us now!
Simply Sundays questions for our Nominees:
We’ve found the food blogging industry to be filled with so many supportive and helpful people. So glad to be a part of this enjoyable journey and to call ourselves fellow foodies!
