HI Cookery is 15!

“In a world where you can be anything, be kind!”

Our little blog on the World Wide Web is now 15! Food blogging existed only a few years before we started, and we were inspired to do it, too, after watching the movie “Julie and Julia” (starring Amy Adams and Meryl Streep). Congratulations to the food blogs that have become so big and popular since then. We lament over the other smaller ones we used to follow that have ceased to exist. We ourselves are surprised but grateful that our humble HI Cookery is still around after a decade and a half! 

We understand the time and costs (especially during inflation!) involved to continue and we admire our fellow bloggers who can do it frequently. Sure, it takes a lot to shop for ingredients, prepare recipes, cook, write, photograph and post our entries. Some blogs are now monetized and that helps them go on. We keep HI Cookery simple and blog at our own slower pace. As senior citizens now, we are not as adept at all the latest technological features of blogging platforms. But we still hope to share our positive cooking experiences with others, as long as we are able physically and financially.

We accept constructive criticism instead of rude comments and hope people remain encouraging and civil. There is enough negativity in the world that no one needs. So please uplift each other, support the food blogging community (professionals and amateurs) who share recipes and cooking information and most of all, be kind!

Tapadh leat! Mahalo! Thanks!
