The first thing you notice when you visit Como Come Cami<\/a><\/strong> is the text. Unless you’re lucky enough to be bilingual you might not understand at first\"Como<\/a> but don’t panic, just scroll. Scroll down the page and you’ll find the Spanish text has been translated to English so you won’t miss a thing. Born in Argentina, Como Come Cami founder, Camila Jurado started traveling when she was 10 years old. She’s lived in Honduras and Buenos Aries but she graduated from a college in Savannah, Georgia. I’d love to know if her Spanish accent took on a southern twang.<\/p>\n

Camila created her vegetarian-inspired blog to connect with other vegans and share the creative recipes she’s gathered from her travels. More about Camila and Como Come Cami:<\/p>\n

Why did you start your food blog?<\/strong>\u00a0I always liked cooking but became more passionate about healthy foods and ingredients once I became a vegetarian. I started this site with the idea of sharing healthy recipes and travel with a vegetarian approach. I love traveling, discovering new ingredients, buying vintage plates, reading cookbooks and taking photos.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How would you describe your approach to eating\/healthy?<\/strong>\u00a0My main approach is freshness, healthy, low in fat, organic produce and eating local. I believe that the more you know about your food and where it comes from, the more excited you become with cooking and a healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Have you always had an interest in healthy food or did it come later in life?<\/strong>\u00a0It came later in life. I always enjoyed cooking, but it wasn’t until I became a vegetarian that my cravings became healthier. The blog also encouraged me, in a way, to think more about my meals and the products I would bring into my kitchen and to my followers. I also started searching for new recipes, buying cookbooks and trying new ingredients.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite (or a few of your favorites) food\/ingredient to use in the kitchen?<\/strong>\u00a0I can’t live without quinoa, greek organic yogurt, paprika or ghee!<\/p>\n

Has blogging changed the way you view food and cooking? If so, how?<\/strong>\u00a0Blogging changed everything. It made me more conscious about what I eat and share. It made me think of different menus, dishes, ingredients to share and my approach to buying ingredients. Since the first day I’ve felt that i’m cooking with and for whoever wants to follow, and that is a great responsibility. I don’t take it lightly. I’m constantly searching and thinking of new dishes to make, and how to present them. Food styling became a lifestyle, and now I try to serve everything I make in pretty dishes that not only look good but taste great!<\/p>\n

Favorite recipe to date?<\/strong>\u00a0My beet burger with sweet potato fries<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n
