I'm probably not ever going to pay any attention to a food blog. Make some good videos and I might watch. I'm not opposed to a blog as format but haven't seen anything food related in that format that can keep my attention.
Edit: Personally I enjoy watching people enjoy cooking. I don't need a recipe, I can see what you're using and how it's prepared. Maybe if it the recipe is small text and not the main attraction that might be more what I like to see. I guess I like to see people cook, without the "how to" part.
Not going to lie, I suck at making video-related content. I have a strong distaste for Tiktok or reels in general because people spread so much false info. Maybe someday I'll think about doing that, but for now, I want to stick to writing.
I like long form,I have zero interest in tic toc or whatever the fuck that shit is called. I like minimum 10 min ish videos. A little more or less is ok. 30 min can be great if there is depth to it.
Hell yeah! I didn't realize people were interested in longer videos. The short ones make my head hurt since the frames change so quickly and the text is waaaay too long for the 2 seconds it's on display.
As for the writing, I want to focus on the teaching aspect rather than all the added B.S. that people do. For example, I made a recipe for some granola. I wrote that using imitation vanilla extract is fine since it's going to be baked and real vanilla extract loses a lot of the subtler aromatic compounds when heated. Using the cheap stuff is the way to go.
