The Brony Chef Project is Back!!

       Good morning to all and Happy Hearths Warming Eve to all!

       Yes, this is the Brony Chef and I have some exciting news for all of you. After many months of hiatus, I finally have a new recipe in the works! I just finished developing it over the past week and its perfect for the new year of 2014. There are going to be some changes to the website but it would be more consistent and dynamic at the same time.

       One of the new changes is the adding of screen captures from the actuall show. Before I go any further, I do want to say I don't own any of the photos or the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. The Brony Chef Project is a fan-made, non-profit project to show case my recipes; NOT the animation cels.

      The screen captures are there to give the home cook or chef a bit of a visual reference of what the dish represents and how its translated into each character of the show. This would insure that the recipes would come out more frequently and not have to wait for days to get approval from Deviant Artists.

       A Quick Note to Artists: I am here to assure you that your artwork and the links to your galleries will still be on the website. I am still open to accept any art you wish to submit to The Brony Chef Project and showcase it for any character and/or dish you wish to represent. If you wish to submit any art, send it to me through my e-mail at kylehedlund21@gmail.com.    

       I would actually like to show you an example of one of the screen captures to give you an idea of how it would look like for each post.

From "A Pony and Dog Show": Episode 19 Season 1: Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack and Pinkie Pie 
        All screen captures would have a little caption below that features the Episode title, number, and characters appearing left-to-right. This would eliminate all the confusion to those new to the Brony fandom and for people who are curious about which character. For characters who are featured of the post, one of the names would be bold to highlight the character for that post.

        Some other changes may include the editing. I tried to edit before I started a new recipe, but it didn't really work out, since it ended up more like work then fun. I still want to edit my previous posts but I don't want to stop creating just because of a few errors I made. So what I decided to do is for every new recipe, I would then edit an old one. I would then send a tweet announcing the edited post @chefkyro with the hash tag #BCPedit to inform everyone of the new edit.

         Speaking of social media, I'm also planning to tweet more through out Twitter and Facebook with the hashtag #BCP and #bronychefproject to spread the word. I would be posting news, updates and new recipies to spread the word out to everyone. If you are a brony, foodie and/or chef, feel free to spread these hash tags all over. I would also encourage anyone who try the recipes out to show your creations on Instagram or any other site. I'm always curious of how other cooks try out the recipes and what others did differently to represent each character though their own eyes and taste buds.

         Finally, I'm going to make a new goal for 2014. I'm going to attempt to post recipes twice a month or at least once a month if work and school is too much. I really want to post more often to someday not only create recipes for bronies, but to inspire others to go beyond what the definition of cuisine into something greater. It may not happen today or tomorrow, but someday Culinary Romanticism may change the gourmet world for the better.

        That is all I want to say today, but starting in January of 2014: The first recipe in a new era of The Brony Chef Project will begin. For now I bid you all, a-do.
