EP 13: From Stay At Home Mom To Food Blogging As A Career

Sip Bite Go with Jenna Passaro

Isn’t it fascinating how not too long ago, it was unthinkable that you could make a career out of a hobby or passion and work for yourself? And isn’t it crazy to think that people make a full time living as a food blogger, recipe developer, food photographer, and YouTube food channel host? It sounds like a dream if you’re a foodie, but more people are doing it each day.

Today’s chat with stay at home mom turned food blogger Jessica Randhawa from The Forked Spoon hits on all of these notes. We chat about how she traveled a lot before settling down, with a huge emphasis on learning how to cook and use ingredients from other countries. We get into her transition to food blogging after staying home to raise her son. And how she started blogging 7 years ago, before food blogging as a career was an actual career path.

• What is the Forked Spoon blog about?

QUOTABLES:

“The more time you put into it, the more content you put out, the more you reach out to your readers and followers, the more you'll get in return. And it's a lot. So you need to ask yourself, do you want this to be a hobby? Or do you want this to be a job?” - Jessica Randhawa 57:21
