Stephanie is a frequent attendee at food blogger meet-up and has even had the opportunity to meet Nigella Lawson! Stephanie loves that here blog is beyond a personal online “journal” and that it is her ticket into a really great community of people who share the same interests. Food Blog Mafia was created as a place for Stef and fellow food bloggers to bounce ideas off each other, cook together, and even write a book together.
Stef’s blog is strictly a creative outlet and she doesn’t see turning her hobby into a paying job. Stef says that as soon as you are doing it as your job, all the fun is taken away. I love finding a blog that you want to go back to daily. Even though I’m a picky eater and don’t eat a lot of the food Stef blogs, I love going to her site for that little bit of humor. I hope you enjoy the blog as much as I do. Feel free to leave Stef a little note in the comments section.
