As I was deciding which page to choose for this assignment, I googled ‘best food blogs’ and looked over a list of 50 great food blogs. While I was glancing over the names, ‘Sally’s Baking Addiction’ immediately drew me in since it was a lot more creative than other names. While looking through her website, it feels like I’m in the kitchen with a close friend or family member because she is so fun and personal.
She has everything from recipes to baking tips and typically posts around once or twice a week. Each blog is a good length, using a mixture of small paragraphs, images and bullet points for the recipes. She has many recipes of a range of foods from breakfast to desserts. She also has a page full of baking tips for many of the recipes she has previously posted. Each post is not only informative but they are very entertaining too. Her tone is light and bubbly but also her writing and use of images make these recipes enticing. Her blogs benefit the page by drawing readers in to be curious to want to make these recipes. I like the diversity in her recipe options. She also uses great images while looking at which recipe to choose.
The only thing I would change is the order of the recipes- they all begin with an introduction and then list the ingredients, which is not my preferred format. I like to see the list of ingredients first to see if I actually have them before I read the entire recipe. Other than that small aspect, I think this is an amazing blog page. I also really like how she lists these baking tips next to the recipes so it caters to beginners and experts.
