Blogger Stories: Ruth Daniels

Blogs took Ruth Daniels on an interesting adventure. She went from working in the corporate world to writing about her passion of food and family. Now armed with an understanding of how blogs can help organizations talk to their customers Ruth is heading back to share her learnings with the suits. If they're lucky she might bring a chocolate zucchuini cake along with her.

 

Blogger Story Teller: Ruth Daniels, Once Upon a Feast (general food & travel, fave cookbooks & kitchen toys), Recipes From 4 Every Kitchen (just recipes), AskRuth (answers pesky kitchen questions)

My story: I took a "short" sabbatical from Training & Development Consulting a few years ago to write a family cookbook that grew and grew along the way....and found a new love- food writing!   

 

The blog world is an amazing place.  In fact 35 people from around the world volunteered to be recipe testers (from a single post I wrote) for the book, Every Kitchen Tells Its Stories which I finally self-published as an eBook & CD. It's filled with stories, and recipes that are easy to make.  I thought I'd just be handing these recipes down to my daughters, but so many friends wanted them that the book idea just grew.  I donate $2 for every book sold to Breast Cancer Research. 

 

Now, almost three years and three blogs later, I'm branching out into Corporate Blogging.  I think my own experiences can help organizations  speak with a human voice that can reach their audiences better.  Wish me luck and share any ideas...
