Last Saturday the FBLA (Food Bloggers Los Angeles) group got together to eat, talk and discuss. It is so much fun to be with this group and just talk about food blogging, and nobody thinks you’re boring or crazy. Everyone brought food for the buffet, and it was a delicious spread. I brought the Spinach and Feta Quiche with Kalamata Olive Tapenade and here is a mosaic if the dishes everyone brought.

After stuffing ourselves on our magnificent food, Patti Londre of Worth the Whisk led a discussion on the relationship between food bloggers and PR reps – the ethics, how to get ads, how to get sponsorship, etc. We talked about what you can and can’t do if you have a personal sponsorship when you attend a conference or event. Also what you can offer your personal sponsor. We also talked about ways to promote our blogs, such as sending out newsletters.

The smart and talented bloggers who attended this very interesting and informative meeting were:

Adair of Lentil Breakdown
Agi of One More Bite
Cheryl of Black Girl Chefs Whites
Dorothy of Shockingly Delicious
Erika of In Erika’s Kitchen
Gisele of Small Pleasures Catering/painperdu
Greg of SippitySup
Nancy of A Communal Table
Patti of Worth the Whisk
Suz of You Can’t Eat What?

We will be having a meeting in August, so if you are a food blogger who lives in Los Angeles and would like to attend, let me know. I’ll get the information to you.
