1. Tell us about your background and journey.

Hello, my name is Shivani Chauhan. I am from a small city Lucknow. And I am a BCA final year student. I've been blogging about my food experiences for a long time now. This skill of mine is met by my mother. She is a create cook. Whether it is Indian, South-Indian, Chinese or any other cuisine, my mother cooks it amazingly well.

Lucknow, which is famously known as the City of Nawabs! There are multiple street food corners and amazing restaurants around the city. I started blogging because of my interest in food. So when I started this food journey, I had no knowledge about the blog.

I saw a lot of food bloggers and learned how this can be achieved. Today I am an admin of an amazing food blog where is share my personal experiences about different dishes and cuisines in my city Lucknow. I also have a YouTube Chanel regarding the same.

2. Which is your favourite cuisine and dish?

My favourite food is Leeti Chokha. By the way, I live in Lucknow but I am from Bihar. And the food of that is litti chokha, dal, thekua, kheer and aachar papad, which is a complete Bihari thali, has all kinds of taste spicy, sweet and sour. Just one word is written, eat and say it's Yummy.

3. Should food blogging be just a passion or can it become a regular career?

Blogging demands writing skills and discipline. One should also have the ability to change according to customer's need and never ever try blackhat tactics. I have seen many people who have made their career through blogs, I get the inspiration by seeing their work, if my blogging work goes well in the near future, then I will give all my time to my blog.

Food blogging is an excellent career for one to pursue and yes it guarantees a lot of money provided you are consistent and real about your personal experiences.

I think if content is perfect in blogging and if our work is good then we can get better response and we can accept it as a career.
