I realise that I have been out of circulation for a while – well since taking on the role of a carer for my husband and his passing. He was the foodie of the family and a lot of recipes in my blog were inspired by him. Cooking for one isn’t fun but thankfully, I have a very supportive family who have been visiting me regularly encouraging me to cook so do look out for my future posts.
As I look back through my blog, I am loving all the recipes but realise that some of my photographs could be improved. So when I got sent this Foodie bag from the Paperbag company to review, I got excited. I take so many photos and realise that often the backdrop isn’t right or the lighting isn’t right. This Foodie bag also refereed to as the ‘Instagram Bag’ is a stylish 12oz black canvas bag with internal pocket, mesh divider and zip closure. It comes with a 5 in 1 pop up reflector, 8 postcard set with handy tips and 4 photographic backdrops. All this is perfect for taking the most beautiful Foodie pictures.
What comes in the Foodie bag?

All of these goodies can be kept in this limited-edition bespoke double-sided tote bag, which has internal zip pocket. This bag is big perfect for any photographer and works perfectly for a food blogger like me. Now is the time for me to take my photographs to the next level.
