IFBC First Impressions - Part 1

Food Blog Radio

Food Blog Radio interviews two food bloggers about their first time experience at IFBC 2013

Alice Mizer

Alice Mizer is a food blogger and mother to two adorable girls and one mischievous shar-pei "puppy." Her blog, "A Mama, Baby & Shar-pei in the Kitchen" was established in 2011 while living in England to share all her kitchen adventures with friends and family. Teaching her young children to cook good, healthy food and bake on their own has allowed their family to grow closer together and enjoy each yummy bite! They are hopelessly addicted to singing songs, playing and painting together when they aren't busy filling up on something yummy or making a sugary, floury mess in the kitchen and enjoying life, wherever they are in the world! They hope to inspire everyone to make time to cook or bake together and share the joys that have come from the kitchen with everyone.Alice discusses:

• Sessions she attended
• Great food from "Taste of Seattle" and the Urbanspoon Dinner at "Republic Seattle"
• Networking
• Goals

Sara De Leuuw

I love cooking and sharing recipes, from every-day delights to gourmet style desserts. When I’m not in my kitchen, I’m out taking classes or going to demos and learning the latest dishes. I enjoy trying different cuisines, exploring everything about the food industry and meeting people who share my passion! I love music, reading, traveling, coffee and cookies! You will often find me taking pictures with my iPhone 4s (though I recently upgraded to a gorgeous red Nikon D3100! SQUEEE!) The flavors of my life are both sweet and savory. There are success’ and imperfections. So, grab a cup of coffee and come sit at the table with me. Let’s talk about recipes, celebrate great food and possibly solve the problems of the world with homemade cookies!! Who’s hungry? Sara discusses:
