Starting the second year of my blog I decided to make more changes here. After nearly one year of discovering the world of photography I found myself enjoying more than just taking pictures of food. I learned to see things differently and realised there is so much beauty around us. I really love to shoot just about everything - my beloved ones, favourite dishes, beautiful nature or favourite places and moments.
So far I have only been posting pictures of food accompanied by recipes. I want to keep sharing my favourite recipes, however I'm not always able to shoot recipes for my blog on a regular basis. And to be completely honest I don't feel like writing a recipe for my blog every week. I enjoy taking pictures so much more than writing. As I have been photographing everything around me lately, I have many pictures I would love to share with you which are not always food related.
I have been thinking about making a few changes to the style of this blog for a while, but I wasn't sure if you, my readers would like it. Then I thought, if I don't enjoy what I do, poor quality of my work will follow and in the end, neither me nor you will be happy. So I finally made a decision. After all Cook Your Dream is my "food and photography passion". Hence from now on, I will include more photo posts where writing or recipe will not necessarily be a part of the post. I hope you will join me on the new journey and will enjoy more photos and new different posts.
To start a new era of this blog, I will invite you to my favourite coffee and cake shop Le Chandelier in East Dulwich. They make a delicious cream tea and it's a perfect place to relax and enjoy your cup of tea.
