InspiRED Food Blogging

Posted on by

Angela Roberts is fueled by a passion for food and art. “I go back and forth between my paint studio and my kitchen, designing and developing something beautiful to look at, or something delicious to eat,” she writes on her food blog, Spinach Tiger. She’s even named one of the faux wall treatments she creates (during her “day” job) “wasabi.” And it is any wonder the artist in her likes to explore Italian cuisine?

I came across her blog last week when she artfully blended food, emotion and color to commemorate December 1, World AIDS Day. I was impressed with how she took her own passion to inspire others to turn up the heat for a cause.

“I felt compelled to cook for this event and asked my fellow food bloggers to cook along with me,” Angela writes in her blog. “I called it Red to Remember. Fellow bloggers joined these efforts from all over the world, baking and cooking in Germany, Australia, Ireland, Spain, Canada and the United States.”

“Some shared their own loss,” she continues. “Some have never been touched by the disease, but were moved to participate. Some helped to educate us.  All moved me in one way or another and I am deeply grateful for the participation. Hopefully, next year we can do this on a larger scale.”

Here are a few photos of what these bloggers created. Go to www.spinachtiger.com to see them all.

  1. Thank you so much for this. I’m honored and touched, especially because 7 weeks ago when I thought about doing this I was more than nervous, not sure how it would be received.
    You made my day. I wish you could have know the people I will never forget.

    I am thinking of moving to square space. Please tell me what you think of it.

  2. I’m so glad you took the chance and went with your instincts on this. I love what everyone created and what they shared in their blogs. Food is one of those passions that is universal, so I really think you tapped into the perfect medium for the message of remembrance. Again, well done!

    I’ll e-mail you to begin a discussion about Squarespace. I like it but it has limitations. Would love to have a blogger brainstorm session on platforms with you and anyone else who wants to chime in!

  4. Cooking to Inspire. Remembering World Aids Day through cooking or baking is an activity that is worth the effort. If we use our passion just for one day to commemorate a very important day, that one day is not wasted. As I read this blog, a thousand others will be able to read it too. The number of people who will be touched or be reminded of this day will increase ten fold, because just for one day, one single person dared to do it. Thanks to Angela Roberts.
