Catching Up In September

I considered skipping this month’s September catch-up but didn’t let it go by without letting everyone know what’s been going on.  My pan de medianoche was chosen by three guys from Miami as their food photo of the month which is great since they were nice enough to let me use their recipe in the first place.  Hungry Sofia was also featured on the Food Network‘s Food2 site with more to come and received a great write-up in Amanda Hesser and Merrill Stubbs’ Food52.  Of course, when anything good happens on my site, Steven Shaw, eGullet founder and Director of New Media Studies at The International Culinary Center, is the first person I let know. It’s only fair since he’s also the first person I bother with nervous questions and technical difficulties.  It’s been over a year since I took his class at the ICC, but he’s yet to cut off any of his students, providing the same full service guidance he did when we were in his class and he was obligated to help us.  The course will be offered again beginning November 1 and I can’t recommend it enough to anyone interested in food writing, blogging, or new media.  Click here for more information.
