To create Web Stories on your blog, you will get access to the Visual Story Builder, a WYSIWYG tool and a media library of music and millions of images and videos.

You can also upload your own videos and images for your Stories.

You may have taken videos, of you making a particular dish. You may have taken photos of the recipe in its various stages, from the ingredients to its plating.

Put these together into a story. You could create Stories about cooking tips or some new techniques you learned.

Recollect all you learned from your favorite chefs, compile the photos/videos you took while cooking, and start creating Stories. Starting a food blog will take just a few simple steps.
