FAQ
What will you find in this blog?
Well, Bonjour Burcu is a blog that that all I want to document my life. It may seem to be more focused on food since I build the blogging idea around the food but I may look food itself from a different perspective than you. For me food is joy, sharing, culture, history, happiness, health, and adventure. So that’s what you will find in this blog. My adventures, food stops, travel notes, cultures and more importantly art… As Foucault said; my main goal is to turn my life a work of art with every piece.
When you say food, what kind of food is that?
Well, I have been vegetarian since 2013 and last 2 years quit eating dairy as well. I eat honey time to time get our honey only from one local bee keeper that I trust her process. I am so happy to live my life with sustaining plant based diet. So you will definitely find vegetarian recipes in this blog.
I can say though, even though I try to make healthier choices with my cooking and baking but I do not want to label my blog with anything. This philosophy doesn’t take away the pleasure of baking and eating homemade bread from me. All I want is, beautiful people, enjoy my blog and don’t get any stereotypes from the beginning. I believe, healthier choices for you and for the planet should come from your heart otherwise it becomes an obsession and it brings a lot of worries (I have been there). Life is a journey, I will have back and forth but I will find the best for myself on the way and I know what, real food always would find me.
Why bonjour burcu?
Well, this is the common expression I get when I tell my name to people if they are not familiar with it. My name is Turkish and I am a Turkish lady who lives in Seattle now. In USA, when I tell my name to people, it sounds like “Bonjour” to them, therefore my friends started call me BB which is short version of “Bonjour Burcu”. That way, they don’t have to think if they really pronounce my name properly (so “c” in my name pronounces like j in jingle) or call me hello couple times. Since then I love that nick name either shortened or longer version and my beautiful man got the domain name for me a few years ago. I told you he is a real supporter!
I just love blogs. Any type of blogs related with cooking, designing, travel… So if you are also one of those people who love blogs, get your hot, cold, spicy or whatever drinks you like and enjoy with “bonjourburcu.com”. God bless, we have tons of blog options. You know it is like; we have tons of songs in this universe but none of them give the same feeling of the other. So, it is same with the food, life and blogging. Maybe, my life and food will give you different feelings and inspirations.Therefore, never give up to try new foods and reading new blogs to get more inspiration!
Welcome to my world, building a piece of art every day.
