Best Practices

• •Write Like You Speak (if you were Mama Karen): Use a conversational, warm, and personal voice. Imagine you're talking to a friend or family member. Avoid overly formal language or jargon.
• •Focus on "We" and "You": Foster a sense of community and direct connection. Use inclusive language that makes the audience feel involved and spoken to directly.
• •Share Personal Anecdotes (Authentically): Weave in short, relevant stories or memories connected to recipes or cooking. This reinforces the "Mama Karen" persona and adds authenticity. (e.g., "This was my grandmother's favorite..." or "My kids always ask for this...").
• •Emphasize Simplicity and Joy: Highlight how easy and enjoyable cooking can be. Focus on the positive emotions associated with food – comfort, love, happiness, togetherness.
• •Be Consistent Across All Platforms: Whether it's a blog post, an Instagram caption, or a tweet, the core voice of "Mama Karen" – warm, nurturing, and authentic – should shine through. Regularly review content to ensure it aligns with the established tone.
