THis week we have another classic that is chili con carne which we decided to make after tons of the viewers of the show started asking for it. The show is going great with lots of interactive content and high levels of user engagement which is awesome!

After a couple of years of back and forward with the guys over at Revision 3 we launched a new show today in partnership with them all about food called Food Mob. It’s an interactive cookery show that features lots of audience participation with some great recipes aimed at the average person who is trying to cook for the first time. You won’t see any crazy ingredients or tricky measurements, it’ll all be kept nice and simple so as anybody can follow it. Let us know what you think and if you could support us by subscribing or following us on Twitter or Facebook it would be very much appreciated. Let us know what you think…

Today our featured blogger is Viviane from Food and Style and we wanted to ask her all about her passion for food…

1.How did you get in to the world of food blogging?

I started my career in food as a private chef and cooking teacher. Food blogging was a natural extension. In addition, I’ve been teaching myself food photography. The blog is a great way for me not only to talk about my passion for food, but to show it through the photos as well. A picture is worth a thousand words and I would hope, a thousand mouthfuls.

2.Do you have a favorite food dish to cook of specialty?

I have way too many favorite foods to name just one! But my specialty is seasonal vegetables and fruits and I would say they’re my favorite foods to cook with and, of course to eat!

3.When did you first realize you had such a passion for food?

At six years old. I would get off from school and immediately run over to my grandmother’s. I couldn’t think about doing homework until she let me help her make dinner. I’ve been hooked ever since.

4.If you could cook one last meal what would it be and who would your 4 guests be?

Something with truffles, no doubt! As for the guests, my husband and family members, the people I love the most and feel closest to in my life.

5.Share 5 other food blogs that you love.

The blog I go to most often is http://dinersjournal.blogs.nytimes.com/ but that’s just because I am a food blogger and I need to know what’s happening. Although I adore reading Eric Asimov’s column.

Other blogs that inspire me are:

http://skypape.wordpress.com/ for her exquisite art, writing and inspiration

http://www.davidlebovitz.com/ who doesn’t love David’s blog?

http://www.whiteonricecouple.com/ for their gorgeous photos and food

http://mattbites.com/ for his wonderful humor that indeed “bites” and great photos

Since you made me think of truffles, here’s a favorite: Poached eggs with shiitake mushrooms, wilted arugula and white truffle cream

1. How did you get into the world of food blogging?

I have always been an avid cook and foodie but over the past few years I have become more and more impassioned about what is happening in the food industry. I believe strongly that food matters, not just the eating and enjoyment of it but where it comes from and how it got to my table. I am a big fan of people like Michael Pollan and Jamie Oliver because they are generating so much public awareness about the importance of eating “real” food.

I began blogging because I wanted to add my voice as an advocate of the local, seasonal and homemade approach to cooking and eating. Local is a challenge sometimes, living in a northern climate, but I think the other side of this is cooking from scratch with seasonal ingredients as much as possible and avoiding processed food when you can. I have a recipe for homemade marshmallows on my blog and I include it not so much to say that everyone should be making their own marshmallows, but to show that it is possible to take homemade as far as you want. I think cooking should be fun and accessible to everyone and I hope, through my recipes and articles that others will feel inspired to try new things.

2. Do you have a favorite food dish to cook or specialty?

I can’t say that I have a favourite dish or food specialty. I think that half the fun of cooking is the experimentation. You have to be brave when you are in the kitchen and keep pushing your comfort level. Whenever I meet people who say they can’t cook I ask them about what they make and how much time they spend trying different recipes. Often I find that the biggest issue is that they have not developed their confidence. Once you get comfortable with the basics and how things should work, then you start changing the rules and mixing things up a bit. I make mistakes all the time, but I don’t let them bother me, I treat it as a learning experience.

3. When did you first realize you had such a passion for food?

I was lucky in that I grew up in a very food-centric family. My grandfather owned a bakery in a small town just outside of Toronto. I used to work there on my summer breaks and I loved it. Early in the morning, alone with my grandfather was the best time. That was when he would make the bread and the donuts. To this day the smell of yeast and warm bread brings back a huge rush of memories. The shop is still open to this day, now owned and operated by my uncle, so it has been a constant in my life and a huge part of the passion that I feel for food.

My mother, my aunts and my uncle are all great cooks too so cooking and food just became an integral part of my life. Food was always central to any family gathering. It is so connected to every memory that I began to associate food with family.

4. If you could cook one last meal what would it be and who would your 4 guests be?

I would probably make a Roast Turkey dinner like the ones my grandparents made for Christmas and Thanksgiving. For me this is the ultimate comfort food. It was always Turkey with apple stuffing and gravy, mashed potatoes, fresh rolls from the bake shop, green beans, a salad and at least two desserts, usually pumpkin pie and steamed fruit pudding with caramel sauce. If I have to pick just 4 people I would make it for my kids, my husband and myself, but if I could I would make it for my entire family, just like the dinners we had during special occasions when I was a kid.

5. Share 5 other food blogs that you love?

I am always on the lookout for good sites, so this list shifts quite a bit. I am consistently impressed with Smitten Kitchen. Deb’s recipes, stories and pictures are always engaging. I also like Tartelette, La Tartine Gourmande and Almost Bourdain. The photography on those sites is fantastic. I recently discovered Crumpets and Cakes. It is such a creative site and great recipes, of course. Read the rest of this entry »
