Hello friends of My Berkeley Bowl. First of all, I cannot thank you enough for all of your support, comments, and likes over the past few months of this exotic food adventure! You have been so tremendously encouraging that I decided to take the plunge and move to a self-hosted site so that I can finally build a recipe index (coming soon!). So…
WELCOME TO MY NEW SITE! I now have a real URL, MyBerkeleyBowl.com.
But this came at a huge cost… transferring sites means that I have now lost all my followers AND all my “likes” for my recipes! This is obviously a blogger’s worst nightmare. If you continue to support my quest to create recipes for weird, exotic, beautiful and rare produce, it would mean a lot to me if you’d go back and like some of my recipes so they don’t look so lonely and unloved. Thank you retroactively and in advance for your support. And I hope that my new site will allow me to create a better experience for my readers. As always, please let me know if you have any feedback along the way!
Happy cooking and don’t forget to get exotic.
This sounds awful. Have you recovered your followers yet? I didn’t realize that happened. Now I wonder if I should self host right away.
Yes, if you think you are going to self-host eventually, better sooner rather than later! I’m not sure if everyone has refound me again, but my old posts did not recover their original likes! Good luck.
I love your blog, Laura, and will go back through and comment on the recipes i have tried. Happy Thanksgiving to you and mike and keep up the good work!
Thanks so much, Beth. So glad to hear you are trying some of them. Please don’t hesitate to give any critiques or feedback!
Great blog – the recipes look amazing! I’m looking forward to following it!
Thanks Julie, I love yours!
Congratulations on the move and good luck!! Your recipes are awesome 🙂
Thanks Kim, I really appreciate your support!
Laura, would you consider becoming a “guest chef” at “Cocina Abierta” in Havana, adding recipes you might originate there? The project was started several years ago when Green Cities Fund (www.greencitiesfund.org) organized a visit by a group of chefs from Chez Panisse who spent two weeks cooking with Cuban chefs. The project’s purpose is to encourage a better diet in Cuba through sustainable organic locally produced food, with outreach to local schools and institutions. We could provide you a casa particular to stay (which includes breakfast), but you would have to cover other expenses, including air fare. Our local representative Imogene Tondre would work with you.
Best regards and congratulations!
