Welcome back to me I say. I’ve been absent for a while as I had lots going on. I am back though with a whole lot of new information. First port of call in my travels is San Francisco. An absolutely amazing place and truly the culinary capital of America. [...]



Simply Italian

I’m often asked about Biteclub by colleagues and other friends. Mostly people like to know the mechanics of it. Well yes, when you’re cooking for 13 people it can be hectic.

Here’s an opinion. Would you like $$$ with that?…

By Peter G • May 3rd, 2007 • Category: Sponsored

I’m going to sidetrack for a moment again today to explain what is going on here at Souvlaki For The Soul. After my first meme I came across a website that pays bloggers for their opinions. Blogsvertise works like this. An advertiser wants their product/service marketed and they pay approved bloggers for their [...]
