Blog Review Part II: Jules Food

This week I was taking a look at the recipe blog Jules Food. I noticed that through reviewing the blog that I gained a better appreciation for it and all simplistic blogs because when it comes down to it, I want a blog with good recipes not a lot of flash.

Structure:
The blog posts are of similar nature making them very easy to navigate due to their similar format.

Balance:
There is a even balance of photography to writing and the step by step photos from different angles and appealing and draw the eyes downward.



Color:
The site uses darker colors like a black background and gray type, which allows the photography to stand out. (Notice how great that cherry pie looks)



Clarity:
Being that the author is a photographer (and one with a hobby of photographing food) the images are great and really give a good impression of what the final product of the recipe will come out like if done correctly. The impressive images keep the audience moving from recipe to recipe and spending a lot of time reading the posts.

Functionality:
This blog is very easy to navigate and its lack of advertisements makes the site feel more personal making it unique among a sea of similar food blogs. There are many links and thumbnails



I think that I was drawn to this page because of its commonality with my own blog Practical, Homemade. Jules and I both share an interest in making and sharing food as well as collecting recipes from friends and family as well as recipes found on sites like Food Gawker, that I visit almost daily. I also think that our sites are similar in the fact that the recipes frequently don't pass on unhealthy things like butter and oil, so I can appreciate that.

Once again, I recommend checking out this blog and giving one of Jules' recipes a try.
