NEAPOLITAN CHEESECAKE
This whole blogging journey of mine began small, with an early adopter Pinterest account.
I used to scroll through snapshots both low-and high-quality of the most delicious recipes at the dawn of Pinterest. More often than not, I found myself drooling and wondering how the folks behind the camera made their food look so damn good.
And then I tried it myself. I’d recreate some of their recipes, just for fun. And then, I pulled out the fancy camera Abe had gotten me two Christmases prior…and that was the spark that launched my blog.
How many Pinterest recipes have you recreated? I’d say my count is up in the dozens, but my own recipe development is very often inspired by the very bloggers from my Pinterest lurking days.
I have followed Dini Kodippili’s blog The Flavor Bender for a couple of years now, and her recipes simply blow me away. I’m an especially big fan of her stunning cocktails (her Color Changing Lemonade Slushie is what got me all hot and bothered about butterfly pea powder…leading to last summer’s Maui Mule.)
