For brands
Questions brands ask
How do you disclose sponsorships?
Clearly and up front, in line with FTC guidelines: a “Sponsored by” note at the top of the recipe, a label on the product spotlight, and a disclosed mention in Cook Mode. Readers trust us because we’re honest about it, which is exactly what makes a recommendation work.
Do you guarantee a positive review?
We only partner with products we’d actually cook with, and we test every recipe in our own kitchen. If a product isn’t a fit, we’ll tell you before we start, not after we publish.
How long does a sponsored recipe take?
Usually 2 to 4 weeks from brief to publish: recipe development, testing, photography, nutrition and publishing. Seasonal spots book up early, so reach out 6 to 8 weeks ahead for holidays.
Can we use the photos and recipe?
Yes. Usage rights for your website, social channels and newsletters can be included, and the Category Exclusive package includes them.
Can you match our product’s exact nutrition?
That’s our specialty. We calculate every recipe’s nutrition facts from the labels of the exact products used, so your protein numbers show up accurately in the recipe card, the Protein Score and Google’s recipe results.
What does it cost?
Every brand and campaign is different, so we send a custom quote with ideas within a few days of hearing from you. Tell us your goals and timing and we’ll shape a package around them.
