Culinary Adventures with Camilla

Earlier this year I noticed a fun game posted in the online group #FoodBloggerLove. We claim the last blogger in the comment stream and add our own link. Then we have a week to post an inspired recipe. I was thrilled to claim Karen of  Karen's Kitchen Stories . She and I have been in several different blogging groups over the years, so I was familiar with her blog already. But it was great to really dive deep and get to know her better. Karen is a prolific blogger and one that joins in on many groups within our community. She was one of two gals who joined me for a year-long project cooking through Mark Bittman's Kitchen Matrix; read about that here . She is part of #FishFridayFoodies, #SoupSwappers, #BreadBakers, and so many more. You can find her: on the  web , on  Facebook , on  Instagram , and on  Pinterest .  And I am proud to call her a friend. Hopefully one of these days I'll meet her in person. We do live in the same state, after all...

Earlier this month I noticed a fun game posted in the online group #FoodBloggerLove. We claim the last blogger in the comment stream and add our own link. Then we have a week to post an inspired recipe. I was thrilled to claim Ellen of  Family Around the Table . She and I have been in several different blogging groups over the years, so I was familiar with her blog already. But it was great to really dive deep and get to know her better. Meet Ellen! You can find her: on the  web , on  Facebook , on  Twitter , on  Instagram , and on  Pinterest . She is a freelance writer, recipe developer, and former correspondent for the Tampa Bay Times where she wrote a regular TASTE section feature as well as reviewed cookbooks for more than 15 years. And, regarding her blog name, she credits her mom, her kids, and her grandmother for the inspiration. She remembers her grandmother making fresh pasta for dinner, writing, "She was from Italy and a very good cook so...

I noticed a fun game posted in the online group #FoodBloggerLove. We claim the last blogger in the comment stream and add our own link. Then we have a week to post an inspired recipe. I was excited to claim Cindy of  Cindy's Recipes and Writings . She and I have been in several different blogging groups over the years, so I was familiar with her blog already. But it was nice to really dig in and get to know her. Meet Cindy! You can find her: on the web , on Facebook , on Twitter , on Instagram , and on Pinterest . Cindy has been blogging since 2012 and was a professional cook for more than four decades. She's a passionate cook and gardener, a proud Penn State Master Gardener alumna. She's been a contributing writer for several newspaper columns where she lives in Northeaster Pennsylvania, including "Garden Spot” in Pocono Record ,”The Watering Whole” in Times News, and “Lawn and Garden” in Pocono Xpress . But, probably my favorite part of her bio is when she...

I joined this annual #FoodBloggerLove exchange that the team at The PinterTest Kitchen is coordinating. Very similar to the Secret Recipe Club to which I belonged for several years, we were assigned another blog, explored, then selected one of their recipes to cook and post. What fun! I received Cook's Hideout , written by Pavani. You can also find her on Facebook , on Pinterest , on Instagram , and on Twitter . Though Pavani hails from Hyderabad, a bustling city in South India, she currently live in New Jersey with her family. She explains the blog's name: "When I decided to start a food blog way back in 2006 and was thinking of a name for the blog, I remembered my husband telling about his favorite food joint called “Hideout” in Davangere, Karnataka (also in Southern India). I thought that was an apt name for the kitchen where I love to hide and cook, so that’s how the name “Cook’s Hideout” came into being. I was intrigued by the multitude of Indian recipes, s...
