About
The Cook’s Cook contributors are home cooks, professional chefs and food writers, scientists, agriculturists and foragers who write from and about adventures on all continents. Our readers are just as diverse as our writers, with interests in every aspect of food and food preparation.
The Cook’s Cook is a community where contributors and readers can share techniques, recipes and food-related experiences from all corners of our globe. To accommodate our international audience, all recipes are presented with metric and imperial (U.S. standard) weights and measures.
The Cook’s Cook accepts sample products for review by invitation only. We endorse products only after testing and approval by our staff. We partner with brands that we believe in. We do not do affiliate links so all advertorial is trustworthy content. Our mission is to provide high quality educational content to our readers. We are guided by three simple words: “teach don’t sell.”
Written permission from the publisher must be obtained before any of the contents of this website, in whole or in part, may be reproduced or redistributed.
