Building An Authoritative Travel Blog

Authoritative blogs seem all the rage at the moment but what exactly is an " Authoritative Travel Blog ?" Well my understanding of the matter is it is a blog that is not only very informative to the readers but that the information comes from authoritative type people in connection with what they are writing about.

Hopefully my articles below will give an insight on travel and travel related experiences from all over the world from many authoritative writers as they have been there and done that.

Articles will be and are published often and this means current travel experiences and up to date places to visit. If you have also visited these places or wish to comment then please do so remembering this blog is intended to family orientated visitors so please be respectful.

I have seen many fears raised through my article site and feel that any traveller today that, for one reason or another, decides against travel insurance then they are possibly being a little short sighted. We do not want our boats to sink but are happy to carry life rafts. travel insurance is a similar idea. We do not wish to ever claim on it but if things go wrong as they sometimes do it is a benifit to have the insurance.

Cook-off Festivals

By Mara Hernandez-Capili

It's springtime once more and I can observe that at this time people seem to be more jovial and cheerful, thanks to the Spring spirit that never fails to put a cheer on everyone's face. Spring is definitely the start of a new season, the start of yet another fun-filled and great adventures for all of us. Spring festivals are great venues to celebrate the onset of Spring and at these places, Cook-offs are very much in demand.

Treat your tastebuds to a whirlwind of tour as a Spring Cook-off in your neighborhood gives you delectable and mouth watering treats. At Spring Cook-offs people try to contribute their best tasting treat every now and then. We can see chefs and restaurant owners at the top of their game who are showing off their culinary prowess to the public.

The usual recipes seen at Cook-offs are barbecue, seafood, lamb and other grilled or smoked culinary treats. This is so because the activity of grilling and the smoke that emanates from a grill further enrich the experience of being in Craft fairs or Spring fairs. The most famous cook-off by the way in the country is the Arizona Chili cook-off, wherein a juried shows is created to judge the best tasting and spiciest barbecue recipe in the fair. This cook-off is annually done to promote public awareness on the historical and cultural significance of chili and to further the drive to make Chili as the National Vegetable of America.

Juried cook-offs are attended by a set of judges that individually taste and rank the food based on the available criteria. The winning entry usually wins a cash prize and a special recognition for his/her outstanding recipe. Cook-offs are great places to have a full and satisfied stomach.

Are you aware that your happiness is directly proportional to your stomach? When you have a full stomach, you will have fun at the Spring Fair!
