Purpose:
The purpose of the blog is to share recipes and related stories to an audience who will find them useful. The author also shares a lot of recipes with special significance to her Greek upbringing so there are a lot of Greek recipies.Audience:
The blog is created by a mother in Chicago so many of her restaurant recommendations or recipe choices are relevant to other Chicagoans. This is especially true of the her inclusion of many Greek recipes because as we know there are many Greek people living in Chicago. Her posts are also aimed at people who cook for family gatherings, typically mothers.Message:
Using food and experiences to make memories and conversations for the future. The author refers to her blog as a virtual dinner table and invites people to pull up a chair.Organization:
Each post features either a recipe of the author's or a food/event related article. But each is post is dedicated to one topic at a time which makes it easy to search for a specific recipe.Style:
This blog uses subtle natural looking colors that make the food seem even more fresh and delicious. The most brightly colored things on the page are the few advertisements on the right side of the page. The blog's title is a handwritten looking chalk colored font, once again giving the feeling of homemade/handmade, which is the ultimate appeal of the site.
Good stuff, but not put together as a blog post. It seems like you could care less about who reads it. Also, you describe lots and make many assertions, but you don't offer sufficient proof (rhetorical or new media)--not even a hyperlink to the blog site.
