I have two things to announce, both of which are related to my sponsors. Firstly it is to introduce iStarvin.com which is the latest UK based national restaurant recommendation website and who have recently taken up virtual residence on my sidebar (look right). Secondly is to upload the third and last of the Douwe Egberts videos. iStarvin launched in October 2009, and is only just gathering steam and slowly working their way to connecting with the general foodie community. The website is a hub/directory for restaurants goers where you can find places to eat & drink (around the country, including London). It’s all of course free, users can register and like many social community sites around, a point system is in place which rewards user who leave their opinion on places they’ve been to. The site also features a blog and currently the fantastic Oliver Thring is featuring a weekly round-up of national critic reviews
I have a few things to share with you today, first of all – who wants to see me make a right tit of myself on stage? Alright, an exaggeration, but I am both very proud and flattered to have been invited by my favourite Brighton foodie Beth to speak at her event – the inagural Food Bloggers Connect. This event is basically a big party for food bloggers everywhere AND also anyone who has a vested interest in Food Blogging to network, share ideas and generally to have a good meal (yup food is obviously involved). The event will take place this Saturday 28th Nov 2009 at Levant Restaurant in London. I have been asked to do two presentations and I just want to give you a little sneak sneak of what I intend to say… also keep reading for the competition regarding the tickets to Amsterdam
