I Actually came across this blog a few years ago while looking up knitting patterns. Hannah, the mastermind behind the blog "Bittersweet", shares not only a ideas for cooking but knitting and crocheting as well. The dual interests add to more traffic on the site because it caters to two interests. With a name like "Bittersweet", I immediately thought of chocolate and desserts, but this blog has a wide range of choices for some of the more picky eaters. Many of the recipes are vegan-friendly: adding another group of people that would read this blog. The images in the posts are very artful and decorative. It brings a more professional level to the blog rather than just messy and blurry pictures. The pictures show that Hannah takes care of her blog and its appearance. The banner at the top with the title of the blog is fall themed and I'd guess that it changes based on the season. Changes like that show that Hannah updates her blog regularly.

I Also liked that recipes were included in "Bittersweet." They bring the food right to your oven so you can appreciate its taste rather than just words, the ultimate review. Hannah’s tone is sincere and grounded. It gives me the impression that she is writing this blog because she is passionate about the things she writes about. The passion is what makes this writing fun to read about recipes that aren’t exclusive to top chefs.
