FoodSnapper

Was it crazy to take picture of food? It is quite embarrassing when someone you know do that excessively, and I m sure I have embarrassed Z and a few friends of mine in numerous occasions. My appreciation of food doesn’t stop at the point I finished it, in fact, it escalates when I break down the food in my mind, thus I want to remember and learn from the goods and avoid the bads. It wouldn’t be a good idea to keep a portion of my creation for future reference, so at least I would like a picture as a trophy.

For years, I thought I am the only loony in the bin, putting pictures of my own sweet creations on facebook. If I said there was nothing to do with self indulgent, it would be a lie. However, receiving comments and genuine interest about food from the others are far more satisfying than the praise on its own. Recently, someone contact me thorough facebook, told me about a website called FoodSnappers, a website full of ‘loonies’ (in a good way) like me. It was great to see like-mind people have same passion on cooking and food. This public blogsite encourage us to take picture of food and drink, to share the joy of having good food and prolong the moment of indulgences. If there is an ‘xtube’ on food and drinks, FoodSnappers is the master of amateur ‘gastroporn’. Of course, visual stimulation is not the only high in the website. Recipe section is the place for amateur or even professional chef to share recipe and discuss culinary skills. Some of those recipes are developed from experience, failure and then modified. Blogmaster Joe regularly posts seasonal recipe with article and pictures that makes you feel the urge of cooking. After all, FoodSnappers is the blogsite for all amateur chefs, food critics, foodies or generally food lover to exchange skills, recipes, opinion and the joy of cooking.
