Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge; Favourite Hobby and Why


It's Wednesday, and thus perhaps it's time for another Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge post courtesy of Long and Short Reviews. This week's topic was favourite hobby and why.

Aside from reading, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered writing this blog, my favourite hobbies are cooking and baking. Somehow I relax while in the kitchen, making food and trying new-to-me recipes.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, as I love both books and cooking, I have quite a collection of cookbooks and quite a while ago, I decided I wanted to cook my way through my cookbooks, trying the recipes that caught my eye and I found interesting. At first, I "only" documented it on Instagram and created a specific hashtag for it, but I more recently also started a blog for it, even though I can admit I haven't been too good at updating the latter at times.

Some other benefits are that I can try new-to-me cuisines without going to restaurants and I improve my skills in the kitchen. As I need to eat anyway, I can equally as well have a bit of fun with it.

  1. I love reading too, and I would love to like cooking, but I find I don't have the patience.

  2. That's so much fun! I love to cook and collect cookbooks, too. Never thought about working my way through them all.

  4. Cooking through cookbooks sounds amazing! I have some picky eaters, but I bet my husband and I would enjoy that. How many cookbooks do you have? Thanks for sharing.

  5. I do enjoy cooking, but I can't really count it as a hobby since I so seldom have the energy for it. Reading and writing are always with me, of course, and I'm trying to cultivate some more active, outdoor kinds of hobbies as well: walking, camping, hiking, climbing.

  6. We could be sisters EXCEPT I hate the baking part. Love the books and the cooking but I am awful at baking. I think it's because you can't experiment with baking as much but it's also because I didn't grow up around many bakers.
