About Us

• Our 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. We endorse products only after testing and approval by our staff.
We also accept media invitations for events, some of which may include transportation and accommodations.
