Thanks to my little sister who is just as obsessed with food blogs as I am, maybe more, I have recently started looking at tastespotting.com  I love the variety of recipes you find on there and the great way that it links to all these amazing blogs.  I find inspiration in the recipes and have always wondered how you manage to get your recipes on there.

Well I took the plunge a week or so ago and submitted my first recipes to the site.  It makes me want to create new and exciting things so that I have more recipes to submit, no one likes to read a blog where someone just used a recipes and didn’t try and make it their own.

Unfortunately, I was disappointed to find out that my recipe was rejected.  Not because of the recipe or the picture but because they thought that it was too negative.  I can understand that it wasn’t positive through out, but I didn’t feel it was negative.  I think it was realistic, not every recipe turns out.  That doesn’t mean that it is a bad recipe or that I am a bad cook it just means it might go better next time.  I would rather someone read my blog and see that you don’t have to be perfect to enjoy cooking.
