Today I make a list to re-evaluate my blogging life.
Recipe posts:
Pros:
- A lot of room for personal story
- A lot of control with pictures: position, setting (decoration, utensil, plating), lighting, time (time of the day, amount of time for taking picture), camera equipment (unless you’re brazen and bring a tripod into the restaurant, some people do that, and I know some people who dislike people who do that)
- Single product – cost efficiency
- No partner necessary, although a helpless victim test subject friend might be useful
- Almost always a good result
- Experiment: you can do things a thousand times, talking about your experiments also makes a good story (example: tofu misozuke experiment by Oanh and Linh-Dang at Rau Om)
- Relevance to readers: high – almost everyone can follow a recipe if they want to
