Please note, the following applies to this website, along with my blogs, Confessions of a Cardamom Addict and Sensual Gourmet: Kitchen Diaries.


What will be considered

This site is all about me and my ever-evolving relationship with food.  As such, I will only consider reviewing food-related products and services.  The following is a sample of what I'll look at, but if your client/product isn't listed, but is food-related, please contact me.

  • Beverages and Foods (preference given to artisinal goods and items made by smaller manufacturers; items made with artificial sugars and sweeteners cannot be considered)
  • Books (Cookery books, biographies, histories, travel)
  • Equipment and Tools (cookware, appliances, tools)
  • Restaurant Reviews (preference given to independents and non-chain/franchised outlets)

  • If a product is sent to me,

    • there is no expectation of a post or review on any site, publication or project I'm affiliated with;

    • if for whatever reason I cannot use your product, I am not expected to return it;

    • embargos must be clearly advised in advance of sending the product, and

    • the product is given to me "free and clear," without any actions required on my part and is mine to do with as I please.
