Nom Nom Nom

So recently for my internship, I was given the job of starting a Pinterest for the small press. As if this is a job. I already live way too high of a percentage of my life on Pinterest. Just ask my boyfriend who actually got an application on his iPhone for Pinterest just so I didn't have to be away from it for too long.

To complete this task, I read articles about how businesses can use Pinterest for advertising and how other publishing companies, particularly small publishing companies, use Pinterest as a new social media outlet. The bottom line with this seems to be to make boards that would be interesting to a lot of people (DYI boards, wedding boards, clothing boards, etc.) and relating it back to your product in some way, i.e. books. Naturally, given my love of food, the first board I wanted to make was a food board. So, in my limited infinite wisdom I developed this board for my boss: Savor the Pages. I started pinning images/recipes of food that is mentioned in the books we publish. After hours of finding and pinning food porn, I decided I really didn't want to just pin this food. I wanted to cook this food.


Thank God for how versatile this blog is. Because guess what? I can do just that. Except I'm going to make food that are in the books I'm reading for fun, not ones from my boss's company. Right now, I'm reading The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake. 


I'm sure what you can guess what that means for my cooking plan. Mmm. So excited! Look forward to the results. They will be posted here soon, whether they turn out to be delicious or a disaster...

  1. That sounds fun. Maybe I'll use my pinterest to post pics (and recipes!) of food I make.
