Playa del Carmen, Mexico (PRWEB) October 21, 2010
To kick-off 2011 in style, Grand Velas Riviera Maya in Mexico will host seven notable food bloggers and photographers January 5-9 for Food Blogger Camp 2011. Created by food bloggers, the camp helps all levels of food aficionados sharpen their skills and will provide inspiration for foodies to start a blog.
In daily sessions, Food Blogger Camp attendees will focus on improving their skills in one-on-one âspeed bloggingâ meetings, blog critiques, photography breakout sessions, a food styling workshop and seminars focused on brand and business building.
Grand Velas Riviera Mayaâs culinary team plans to roll out the red carpet for attendees, with demonstrations of signature recipes from the gourmet restaurants Sen Lin, Cocina de Autor, Piaf and Frida. The final evening will culminate with a tasting of Mexicoâs finest wines and a full course dinner celebrating the evolution of Mexican cuisine.
Cookbook author and blogger David Lebovitz will lead a session entitled Whatâs My Blog About? âWith hundreds of thousands of food blogs out there, it’s hard to break out from the crowd and get noticed,â explained Lebovitz. âIâll be helping attendees find their niche and will give invaluable tips for participantsâ food blogs during my seminar that will help them stand-out.â
âOne of the best things about Food Blogger Camp is the opportunity to meet, play and explore with other food bloggers,” added Elise Bauer of Simply Recipes, one of the most popular food blogs on the internet. “There are so many fun things to do beyond the classes. People can’t help but to come away with new friends, connections that continue to grow long after the camp is over.” Bauer will teach best practices for creating a blog that gets recognition and builds a sustained readership.
Other seminar leaders include social media maverick Jaden Hair, cookbook author and protagonist of the Steamy Kitchen; food and lifestyle photographer Matt Armendariz of Mattbites; Adam Pearson, professional food stylist for cookbooks and Food Network, and photographers Diane Cu and Todd Porter of WhiteOnRiceCouple.
