Going social, finally! I’m rededicating myself to the Good Food Recipes blog and I have created a few social media accounts to help share my recipes. I’m still fairly new to the whole social media scene but I’m a fast learner. Do pop on over and “like” or “follow” me and I’ll do the same for you if you’re into food or cooking. I’ll add more social media platforms as I become comfortable with the biggies below.
Good Food Recipes on Youtube
So, technically Youtube probably isn’t a social media platform but some of us use it like one. I still have a lot to learn with making and editing videos but I have started a channel and I do plan to improve. I plan to use it for recipes of course, but also other food related topics like restaurants, food and travel, food and gardens, food products, and food facts. For example here’s a fish restaurant I went to in Istanbul and here’s a Turkish recipe I made for Eggplant Salad. I have lots of ideas for the Good Food Recipes Youtube channel, I just have to learn how to make videos! Subscribe to the channel here Good Food Recipes.
Good Food Recipes on Instagram
It took me quite a while to warm to Instagram because it forces you to use your phone! I used to abandon it for many months at a time because I’m not a lover of phones. But I’ve learned to love it just a little more and am now relatively active on my Instagram account. I’m posting at least every couple of days and sometimes everyday. I’m sharing recipe pictures, restaurants, food related travel, foodie things, cooking products, food markets, and yes, the occasional pretty sunset or cat picture! I try to follow all food accounts back on Instagram so let me know if you’re following me and haven’t followed you back yet. I love seeing what other food lovers are posting each day.

Good Food Recipes on Twitter
I don’t like how Twitter only allows a certain number of characters per posting, but they don’t seem to hide your posts from subscribers like Facebook does. There seems to be plenty of foodie bloggers, chefs, food suppliers, and restaurants on Twitter, so I think I’ll be spending a lot more time on it. Follow me @goodfoodrec
Good Food Recipes on Facebook
Do people still use Facebook? I’m still using my family account to keep up with what’s happening in the family but it isn’t what it used to be. I used to see all my favorite foodie channels regularly posting but it seems to have died off. I think when they started forcing channel owners to pay for their subscribers to see their posts it died a little. So I will post from time to time but it feels like nobody sees my posts, which means it’s not a priority for me. Instagram and Pinterest are soooooo much better platforms for food lovers.

Good Food Recipes on Pinterest
I’m very new to Pinterest but am really loving it. It’s a very visual resource and there’s plenty of great food blogs and cooks out there publishing tasty looking recipes on Pinterest. Just search for a recipe and pages of beautiful food pictures come up! Follow me @goodfoodrec
What’s your favorite social media platform? If you post food related things on your account I’ll probably follow you back. Just let me know if I have missed you and I’ll start following you. You have to be posting mostly foodie related things though.
