My food photography stuff
It's 2015, meaning food blogging is no longer just about the recipe. You will need to have beautiful images of your food, otherwise no one will even pay any attentions anymore.

Stay away from Nutella!
It was a love at first bite when I had Nutella for the first time in my life. So I almost hated myself when I unfortunately googled "Nutella" and discovered its harmful ingredients.

It's cleverly hidden inside an artificial flavor called vanillin which is labeled on every Nutella jar. It also contains the toxic GMO emulsifier soy lecithin and palm oil whose extraction is … [Read more...]
