Vanilla Garlic originally started back when the food blog world was young and there wasn't much food information online yet, let alone a restaurant guide for Sacramento. I decided the blog would be a chance for me to try out new restaurants and writeup my own reviews. Eventually I started to include cookbook reviews, and use the blog as a space to write down my favorite recipes. Later I went on a cupcake craze and this became one of the top cupcake blogs, with a huge repertoire of original recipes.
Nowadays I just write about my adventures and experiences in the many facets of the food world. People seem to like to read my stories and posts and I'm more than happy to share them.
Are All Your Stories True?
Yes. I do change names or locations at times, but the events I write about do actually happen. Oftentimes I may simply combine two or three different events together into one instance for the sake of story-telling. Ahh, the powers of creative non-fiction.
Do You Review Products?
I love to try new things, but don't always have time. If I agree to accept your product I do not guarantee a review on the blog in return. However, more than likely if I said yes to begin with I have an interest in doing so.
Do You Review Cookbooks?
Yes, but I'm picky about what I pick up and only review those which catch my interest. Furthermore, I prefer to be able to talk to the author in order to write a good review should I decide to. If I do review it, I read the book cover to cover and then prepare about five of the recipes to ensure the review is fair and thorough.
Do You Review Restaurants?
I enjoy doing so very much, but I usually do it on my own time. It's not often I go to tasting dinners or openings (though it has been known to happen). Furthermore, I believe a review is only really fair if I eat a restaurant as a regular customer.
Can I Talk To You About Your Research?
Of course! I feel that sharing resources and information is one of the best parts of academia. Please e-mail me about any specifics.
Will your write/cook/develop a recipe for us?
More than happy to if I have time and depending on the subject. I am more than happy to do some charity work for non-profits and any good causes should you have one to present. I specialize in baking and Chinese cooking.
My Cupcakes Aren't Working, What Should I Do?
I made a handy little cupcake troubleshooting guide for just these questions. ;)
