I captured this picture of my Barlotti Bean Curry I captured this picture of my Barlotti Bean Curry yesterday. I have a long way to go in terms of food styling and learning all about light. But if you take a look at my older pic you would know what an improvement this is. I have set myself a few goals since I started blogging, one of it was to reach my numbers in terms of traffic so I can earn some money from it. Today I have managed to get almost 7k views a day (yes that’s a lot for me, a year ago I had barely 100). A lot of ladies have been asking about my blogging journey. I was someone with a low self-esteem and I lacked confidence. When I first started I knew I had a passion for cooking but I kept questioning whether my readers will love my recipes. What if people hate it, what if my photos are a mess, what if I receive bad comments. How will I handle all of this. Because my whole life was always based on what others thought of me. It came from being rejected by my peers when I was younger, having people tell me I wasn’t good enough and then being in an abusive relationship for a long time. But I told myself if I never take the plunge I will never live my dream and share my passion with the world. So what if my recipes are not to everyone’s taste, so what if I get a bad comment and what if my photos are not magazine worthy. Even top chefs recipes don’t always work for everybody, I know that because I’ve tried. But they keeping going don’t they. As long as my food is placed in clean bowls and look appealing that’s a start. So I created a free website for myself and that was a step in the right direction. I soon learnt free doesn’t work and I spent a bit of money creating a new website and focusing on SEO, I still have loads to learn. And I’m not some famous blogger yet and I still face many rejections. But what I do know is that I love what I do. I’m passionate about it and I love waking up to blogging everyday. It’s my outlet for my stress levels and it’s given me a new confidence, something I never had before. #barlottibeans #motivation #keepgoing #bloggingjourney #passion #foodiesofinstagram #nevergiveup #hope
I’m in awe of my own photography! What took me s I’m in awe of my own photography! What took me so long, all I had to learn was three things, Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO. I guess everything in its own time. Sounds a bit like my own life. Like when you’re in a bad relationship forever and you suddenly see the light, that’s how I feel with my photography skills...Lol! I can’t thank Cat @lefamishedcat enough. It was her blog post that really triggered my thirst for learning more. I wish everyone could explain things a little more simply for some of us that are a little slow. Here I present my good looking Mushroom Risotto. Will post the recipe soon #risottolover #rissoto #foodphotography #foodstyling #hautecuisines #nikonphotography #foodblogfeed #quarantinecooking
I was getting used to the idea of having hubby hom I was getting used to the idea of having hubby home. Today he’s gone to the office and our home is pretty quiet. At the beginning of lockdown I was dreading having everyone home because I’m so fond of having some of my own space. But then I started loving the idea of having my hubby and kids home, it grew on me. We have to go back to reality pretty soon I guess. This was the last pic we took just before lockdown. Don’t know when we will get to dress up again #love #familylove #lockdown2020 #instapic #specialmoments
You can tell I’ve been playing around with my ca You can tell I’ve been playing around with my camera. Still don’t know much about what I’m doing but if it appeals to the eye that’s all that matters for now. One step at a time. I watched @joaniesimons video before but made no sense at all. This time I tried to put some of it into practice. By the way these are my favorite brinjals and I was delighted when I found some @checkers_sa today. If you haven’t tried them check out my recipe on my blog, Brinjals with garlic and Chilli. Yum 😋 #brinjals #brinjals #vegetable #darkandmoody #color #nikonphotography #instapic #instaphotography
