Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards 2011: Food Blog Finalist

Today I'm pleased to announce that Grab Your Fork is a shortlisted finalist for the Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards 2011 in the category Best Food Blog. It seems like only yesterday that I wrote my first blog post. That was over 7 1/2 years ago. Way back in 2004, the idea of food blogging was a relatively new concept. Who took photos of their food before eating it? Now all the cool kids are doing it. Even Marge Simpson.

Food blogging for me has always been about sharing my experiences and having fun, but it's fascinating to see how the medium has gained traction as an alternative source of information for a global food-loving audience.

Now what?

VOTING IS NOW OPEN. Votes can be cast at http://awards.nuffnang.com/votes until 27 November 2011.

On December 16 I'll be winging my way to the awards ceremony and representing Australia. The awards ceremony will be held that evening in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.


If you enjoy this site – if you like looking at the photos, reading the posts, and seeing all the great food that Sydney (and the world!) has to offer  – you can show your support by casting a vote for Grab Your Fork.

Thank you and happy eating!
