Susan

Nuffnang Featured Blogger for the month of January

Hey Nuffnangers! I’m Susan Thye and I’m from Sydney and I love food.

My blog Chocolatesuze is about the random foods I eat, in particular quirky stuff like the 32cm soft serve icecream or the fiance’s attempt at the 2kg ramen challenge. There is the occasional recipe and sometimes a restaurant review. I dont pretend to be a writer or a photographer I just want to share with the world my experiences and things that make me laugh. Food doesn’t have to be expensive or served in some posh restaurant for it to be delicious, some of the best meals i’ve ever eaten were at tiny hole in the wall places, food from street vendors in Malaysia and of course my mums home cooking.

I started my blog about 8 years ago when I was looking for a distraction from the HSC. I am a firm believer in seeing where life takes you and going with the flow. I have a degree in nutrition and while I don’t exactly eat healthily I can tell you WHY the food I’m eating is not healthy. I have a weakness for cheeseburgers, chocolate cake and macarons.

Some of my happiest memories are from the jobs I’ve had since high school- working in a popcorn store, sandwich store, cake factory, and a pancake restaurant not because i liked working but because of all the freebies i scored. Can you imagine 5kg worth of caramel popcorn? Or a 6 foot long sub? Last year I started a biscuit company called The Biscuit Tree. I had wanted to call the company Son of a Biscuit but didn’t think that would go over well when I answered phone calls.

The number of aussie food blogs are increasing and I say the more the merrier! We have nowhere near the awareness of blogs than in the US so it’s great that Nuffnang is able to help us out with strengthening our online presence.
