Turn your Hobby into Income

Hello and welcome everyone. Hobby Chef recently completed its 2nd Anniversary and we want to thank all the wonderful people out there who have supported me and also acted as critics at times. On this occasion, we would like to invite all the creative people out there to contribute to our blog as writers. It is also an opportunity to earn some money from your love for food and cooking.

  • Some creativity  
  • A Food Product to review
  • A Cooking Gadget Review
  • A Restaurant or food Joint to review.

Basically the idea is to write up a blog article which can be either food product, gadget or a restaurant/food joint that you have personally experienced  and like to share your reviews with the fellow readers. It could also be an interesting article where food it the focus. Simple isn’t it? Yes, but there are few rules to the game
