traditional teaching to interactive teaching and learning environment. One
of the popular ways educators opt for is by blogging. Blog enables students
and teachers to post and share their ideas, comments and thoughts. In this
research, blogging is introduced to a group of University Technology
MARA Penang Culinary degree students in their Food Writing class with
the aim to investigate their perceptions towards blogging in the culinary
settings and how their perceptions are associated with their engagement in
blogging. Students use blog to write their food review and food critique in
their food writing class throughout the semester by consistently reporting
their reviews and critiques from food sampling that were introduced to them
in their culinary visits. Drawing data from gathered interviews and questionnaires,
the research reveals the success of academic blogging depends
on the participation and motivational aspects from the students, social networks and instructors are the main contributing factors to provide
