Sense Of Taste

Blown away by the food at BlogHer Food thus far!!! The style and quality has been incredible!

IMG_1800

And I got my meal at breakfast – I think I ate 3 breakfasts in one! They had tons of amazing fresh fruit (CHERRIES!), greek yogurt in little jars, pastries, bagels and interesting spreads, [organic] eggs, and more.

IMG_1798

The presentation was gorgeous and creative! {It will be the day when these conferences add some studio lights so we bloggers can take good photos of the gorgeous displays!]

IMG_1799

I think I tasted it all – even things that I don’t normally love for breakfast like bagels and eggs! SO hungry – and tasted so good!

IMG_1804

[I didn’t quite finish all of this!]

IMG_1809 IMG_1810

After I filled my plate, I stumbled upon the Chobani booth with a full yogurt + toppings bar – IN JARS!!! So cute!

IMG_1808

The morning session was from the White On Rice Couple, who inspired us with their gorgeous photography and amazing videos, like this one.

IMG_1814

My speaking session was the first of the day, which was great because I was nervous to get it over with! Amelia and Janet and I spoke on nutrition trends, real food and credibility titled Food Literacy: Separate Food Fact from Food Fiction and Enhance Your Credibility. I believe the session was recorded and you can read the live blog post here. The flow went well, and our audience looked very engaged. Hope they enjoyed the information!

IMG_1815

LUNCH was incredible as well!! Creative sandwiches, gazpacho, fruit cups, potato salad stacks

IMG_1816

Salad on a toothpick!!

Cookies

IMG_1818

Such creative ways to taste food!

IMG_1822

Loved the potato salad stack

IMG_1821

Squeeze on the mayo! [Remove the pearl onion]

IMG_1824

Loved the spinach salad!

IMG_1820

Also had a curried chicken salad roll, fruit, a tomato/moz/eggplant stack and a few cookies

IMG_1823

IMG_1819

Enjoyed eating with these ladies! Burnt Biscuits (blog to be!), Confident Cooking, Pepper Lynn, Food on the Table!

Afternoon begins!

    The food DOES look incredible! I’m always nervous about conferences though, did you notice if they offer much gluten free stuff? Haha I’m afraid I’ll finally get to go to one of these someday but not be able to eat much! And I love those chobani jars, how cute!

      Normally they do have all options covered and they are well labeled – Foodbuzz did that well last year. I’m not sure if they had more options this year (it might have been in a separate area)

    I love all the creative presentations of the food. But I must ask, Salad on a Toothpick? How did that go…? I like the concept, but would probably add some more mix-ins into the salad!

    Oh my goodness!!! … What a wonderful array/display of foods!!! Do the people in charge of BlogHer create the menus, or is it locally catered?

    Oh my gosh…I love the presentations! So many awesome ideas…potato salad stacks (was that a blue cheese ball with the pearl onion?), salad on a stick, gazpacheo in the glass, greek yogurt in a jar…loooooove it! You must be in heaven!!

    It looks AMAZING! Was the potato salad on a stick difficult to eat? Or did you basically just break it down and eat it with a fork on your plate? Either way these are excellent party finger food ideas! I’m also loving everything in the jars! Makes it look so pretty.

    As a chef, I love the presentations of those salads. I work for a premiere catering company and might have to mention it, as we do a ton of small plate/tasting items. I just have to ask, what is the little round green thing between the onion and egg on the potato salad, a caper?

    Hi Kath,

    Looks like a lot of fun! I just read your presentation – very cool. I’m a loyal reader of your blog, and just wanted to comment on one of your comments in the presentation. A few years ago, I would have totally agreed with your “vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free recipe…who cares” comment. But now, as a mom with a son with food allergies, I actually appreciate those recipes.

    I never imagined I’d have to deal with multiple food allergies with my son, but we’re dealing with it, and helping him eat very healthy despite having to avoid so many things. So, just so you’re aware, there’s a HUGE food allergy community who REALLY appreciate those recipes as it helps them feed their families and children despite living with frustrating food allergies.

      Oh I am not at all saying those recipes are great options!! My point was just that an overload of buzz words just for the sake of attracting traffic can backfire on people who are intimidated to cook in that way or dilute the more descriptive ingredient words. If you are actively looking for a certain type of recipe and scanning for those words, then it absolutely makes sense to use them and seek them out. I’m sorry if that’s not how it came across in the transcript!

    That is such a unique way to have potato salad. All of the food looks delicious and it looks like there was so much of it. Being the indecisive person that I am I would have had absolutely no idea where to begin if I were in your shoes.

    So happy that the food is amazing. Often times at big events like that it can feel a little….”catered”. You know what I mean 🙂 And great that you’re in a phase of pregnancy that you’re loving it! Can you imagine if you were on this trip at like 8-10 weeks when nothing ever looks good to any pregnant woman! Glad it all worked out!

    I think I’m going to ditch the traditional RD thing and become a blogger. There’s a better spread at this one conference than at every regional, state, or national RD convention I’ve ever been to combined. It’s also great that they actually have sponsors I can be get behind of instead of having to grit my teeth over. Looks like a great time!
