It’s here! Spring Issue of Flavour Fiesta Magazine!
Hello my lovely readers! I am thrilled to make an exciting announcement to you all today on the “official” first day of spring. The spring issue of Flavour Fiesta Magazine is finally here!
As you may (or may not) know, I’ve been working on this issue for the past few weeks and was trying to wrap up all the finishing touches this week. It’s taken a while, but it’s all worth it!
Here’s a peek of the front cover.
Spring is one of my favourite seasons because it evokes freshness and renewal. After a long drab winter, we can finally enjoy the bright colours of spring!
In this issue, you’ll find not only healthy spring recipes inspired by global cuisine, but you’ll also find tips on making homemade yogurt, decorating Easter eggs and even making DIY face masks. If you’re feeling adventurous, why not turn to page 63 and learn how to make homemade blueberry liqueur? This issue has a little bit of everything and you’re sure to find something that catches your interest.
The most exciting part of the spring issue is that you will “meet” a few of the most talented food bloggers from around the world. This season we have seven amazing guest contributors – each one is an inspirational woman with a passion for food. I hope you enjoy “meeting” and connecting with them! I wanted to thank these lovely ladies for their beautiful contributions and amazing recipes! A big thanks and hug to Nadia from Nature Insider, Manu from Manu’s Menu, Kankana from Sunshine and Smile, Nami from Just One Cookbook, Sylvie from Gourmande in the Kitchen, Callie from Rawxy and Tracey from CheeCha Puffs.
The last two issues have been a wonderful learning experience for me, but I wanted to take things further with this issue. Spring is the season of new beginnings, so it’s only fitting for me to start things with a new perspective. Not only did the magazine receive a “makeover”, but this issue is interactive! Which means more interesting links and videos for you to enjoy. To spot a link, just hover over the pages and you’ll see blue rectangles that will guide you to different links. So enjoy browsing around!
I really hope you enjoy this magazine and I would love to hear from you. What did you like? What do you want to see more of? I look forward to all your suggestions and comments.

Part 4-Create your own magazine- Photography
Happy Tuesday! Today, I’m going to talk about my favourite resources for tips on food photography as part 4 of the “Create Your Own Magazine” series. When I first started the blog last year in late March, I had no clue what it took to take a good photograph of food. It wasn’t until August that I took a serious interest in improving my skills, especially for my magazine. I found many useful resources online, but it was hard to filter through all of it. So…I’ve compiled a list of sites and tips I found the most helpful in my journey. I hope this can help you too in your creative endeavours.

Part 3-Create your own magazine-Design
Hello my lovely readers! Today, I’m going to discuss how to complete the design framework of an online magazine as part 3 of the “Create Your Own Magazine” series. Completing the design was one of the most intimidating things about creating my magazine, at least in my opinion. I had no clue where to start and where I could find fonts, shapes and other things to enhance to layout of the document. I’ll cover everything related to design and a list of the best resources for inspiration and free commercial fonts.

Part 2-Create your own magazine-defining the vision
Hello my lovely readers! Today, I’m going to discuss how to define the contents and vision when creating your own magazine as part 2 of the “Create Your Own Magazine” series.
If you’re planning on creating your own online publication, having your vision nailed down before doing any of the design work or photo shoots is really helpful. You can then plan all the work accordingly. In this post, I plan to cover the thought process of defining the vision and coming up with the table of contents.

Part 1-Create your own magazine- Inspiration
Hello my lovely readers! So sorry for the delay with part one of the “Create Your Own Magazine” series. I’ve been down with the flu and you all know how that is. I’m much better now (just in time for the holidays!). So here’s the first part of the series which is on “inspiration“. We all know that without any inspiration, it’s hard to even start working on a creative project. In this post, I plan to cover the process of brainstorming. Are you looking for inspiration, but not sure where to find it? Look no further – I plan to include a whole bunch of my favorite online magazines, some of which are pure eye candy.
