Do you dream of idling away on a sunny beach in the middle of the winter?

Do you want to meet other food bloggers from all over the world?

Do you want to spend your vacation with me? Ok, you don’t have to answer that last one. But if you do, I’m going to be a featured participant at Food Blogger Camp, taking place January 9-16th, 2010.

While camp is in session, each day there will be a seminar by my favorite food bloggers, food stylist, and photographers.

Participants include Diane Cu and Todd Porter, Michael and Donna Ruhlman, Matt Armendariz and Adam Pearson, Dianne Jacob, Jaden Hair, and Elise Bauer.

Seminars will include everything from how to style and snap the perfect food shot, what to do when the book agent comes a knockin’ on your door, and plenty of tips to dial up your blog and get the love and respect that you and your blog so richly deserve.

As for extracurricular activities, there will be a walking tour of the colorful Zijuatanejo market, we’ll taste tacos and tequilas, visit a fisherman’s market, and meet with local farmers and talk about their sustainable agricultural practices.

    Oh my! If I won, I’d have to explain to my husband why I was abandoning him and my toddler to have a fabulous vacation and why I wasn’t thinking twice about it. :)

    • Zahra Duffy

    oh my goodness! Having just left student-dom and entered the real world of bills and non-leisure, I’d be ECSTATIC to go on any kind of vacation, much less one I would give my left pinky toe and a kidney to be a part of!

    • Leah Klein

    What a fabulous idea Jaden and Co. I remember reading your tweets from the last one and feeling like perhaps you were all having a little too much fun! Can’t wait to hear about the next one.

    David, You asked:

    Do you dream of idling away on a sunny beach in the middle of the winter?

    Do you want to meet other food bloggers from all over the world?

    Do you want to spend your vacation with me?

    Answers:

    Yes!

    Yes!

    Yes!

    What a dream vacation…my favorite bloggers, fabulous food, fun in the sun, kitchen time, all in the beautiful Bahamas!!!

    • James

    Well, I could really use some help with food styling and photography—my food always tastes great, but looks horrible once I post it online!

    • Kathy

    In.

    • Broderick

    Pick me! Pick me!

    • Justopia

    “I’m going to win, I’m going to win, I’m …” No one ever said positive thinking is bad. But just in case, I’ve booked and paid for my trip.

    • Elizabeth

    I think the only way I’ll ever be able to take a vacation without being fired is if I win one. It’s also really been one of those years, if you know what I mean. If it weren’t for my stellar sense of humor I don’t know where I’d be (well, mentally speaking). So you should definitely pick me. More importantly, I am the biggest fan of this blog and am probably one of the few readers to actually have attempted your recipe for Green Walnut Liqueor. Or at least I have a drawer full of green walnuts that I’ve been hoarding over the weekend and fully intend to crack open just as soon as I replace, i mean BUY, the required liter of vodka.

    • Elizabeth

    Yay! what an awesome trip!

    • Loren Leong

    I can’t believe you are going to help me with my career change. Love food, whether I am eating, cooking or looking at it. Add some travel and what’s not to love about it. What a great life style you’ve made for yourself and now you are willing to teach us how to do all.

    Thanks!

    • Kelley

    Me, please!

    • Melanie H. Mercereau

    Yummm, I would go for the drinks alone!!!

    • Dragana Harris

    I read all about the last trip and would love to meet all of you!

    • marshall wright

    Yes, David, I would love to join you in Mexico.

    • mbjorn

    Are you serious? I would LOVE to do this. Count me in.

    • Casey@Good. Food. Stories.

    Amazing! If I don’t win, can I stow away in someone’s suitcase?

    • Hannah

    I will come all the way from Australia for a trip like this!!!

    • Jessica

    sounds like a great trip!

    • kelly bone

    Oh yes please!

    • Brent Garland

    Fantastic opportunity and terrific giveaway! If I win, will we get to talk Paris? My wife wants to move there (she, of course, speaks great French. I can translate menus).
