Marketing/PR/Advertising

I decided a few years ago that I want this blog to be pure recipe posts. I am not a restaurant critic or a product reviewer. Every recommendation is my own - all the cookbooks I use and mention are bought by me, as are all the ingredients. If I mention a restaurant/cafe/shop, I went there of my own accord and paid. I do not accept products (for review or giveaways), press trips, classes/experiences or money for promotion in any situation. I am not linked to any companies and I will never put any form of advertising on the site.

  1. Hey!

    This is a lovely blog, can't wait to try some of these recipes! It's funny to read your story about being without a kitchen for your first year in Oxford. That's exactly what I'm going through now haha! Though cooking illegally in my room on a George Foreman grill has actually been a lot of fun :)And maybe check out my blog if you're interested. Finally, congrats for the recent Guild of Food Writers nomination!!

  2. I just wanted to let you know I am quite disappointed you didn't win the Saveur blog contest :( I truly think you deserved it most. You are in good company though-often the winners of whatever the competition, election, race, etc. are not the most deserving! Love your blog...Christina

  3. I just found your blog in Pinterest and am so glad I did. I am in awe of your accomplishments (Oxford, cooking, photography) at such a young age. Please keep posting.
