Food blogging is a feature of food journalism that interlinks a gourmet interest in food, blog writing, and food photography.[1] Food blogs are generally written by food enthusiasts, often referred to as "foodies," and can be used commercially by the blogger to earn a profit. The first food blog launched in July 1997 as a running feature on the Chowhound website.[2] Titled "What Jim Had for Dinner," Chowhound founder Jim Leff cataloged his daily eating.[3]
The majority of food blogs use pictures taken by the author, and some of them focus specifically on food photography.[2] Food blogs can include recipes, travel writing, and restaurant or product reviews.[4] Most typically, a food blog has overlapping elements of all or some of these elements.
