Food blogging has been an exceptional experience which allowed me to widen my knowledge about the food we eat and how many different factors can come to play when a winning dish is created. Through food blogging I have not only had the chance to embrace food as a nutritional marvel, but more often than not as a cultural one.
I have recently been chosen by my blogger friend Lee of Café Couture for the Liebster Award. This award allows me to state 11 facts about myself while nominating another 11 bloggers for the award.
