Submissions

1. Which photos will you accept?

Our policy is to feature your hard work as cooks and bloggers.  So, if you took the time to cook it and photograph it, we will likely publish it.  There are circumstances, however, under which a photo might be rejected.  If it is not a photo of food that you, yourself, cooked or you do not have rights to that photo, it will be rejected.  In addition, if the photo is so dark, out of focus or poorly cropped that it becomes impossible to see the food clearly, it might also be rejected.  Finally, please be sure that the link you provide is to the recipe in the photo, not to your home page.
