Get Featured on ChefDeHome

I started Chef De Home with goal of sharing my authentic and updated family recipes and above all my and my husband Vishal's passion for food with the world. Food is part and parcel of our life and we can make it better to stay healthy and fit. Home cooking gives us option to make healthy choices for our family. We can make gourmet food at home like pros and yet can keep it simple. Can't we? Yes, we can!!  With this blog, I want to spread message that we all can cook at home like professionals (sometimes better than professionals) and can keep it much healthier. And as a bonus, we can save tone of money doing so.

But, I am not the only one cooking at home! Am I? nah!! My many blogger friends are cooking awesome and delicious plates of food and sharing it with world. I consider all of them - 'The Proud Chef at Homes'. The whole idea behind featured recipe post (or guest post) on my blog is to honor all my food blogger friends and is to network with you all. Lets work together and help this world eat healthy and homemade. Bring out the chef inside us, let us cook the best and always be proud of cooking at home.

There are a few ways to get featured on ChefDeHome -

1. I will be running recipe contests time-to-time. Participate in contest, submit recipe and get your work published on ChefDeHome.com. I encourage you to sign-up for free ChefDeHome newsletter and know whats happening every week. 

OR

2. Every fortnight, I will share recipe of one of my budding (or established) blogger friend with my audience to give my readers taste of what else is cooking around the globe and to give my blogger friends (I mean you) an opportunity to be known and be heard. All you have to do is - submit your original recipe for feature post. If your recipe gets selected then link with ChefDeHome with a beautiful Proud ChefDeHome Badge.

In few words, let me sum up the best RECIPE of getting featured on ChefDeHome - "Share your original, scrumptious, unique recipe with mouthwatering conversation and be my guest!"
