ADVERTISING & DISCLOSURE

Advertising on the English Kitchen

Occasionally The English Kitchen likes to team up with brands and offers fair and honest reviews of products, cookbooks, etc. for a variety of companies.  I always endeavor to give whatever you send me a good trial and an honest and forthright review.   If you would like to discuss anything of this nature please feel free to contact me via mariealicejoan at aol dot com.

I am also willing to do Guest Posts and written Articles on your page, for a fee.  One again, if you enjoy the writing, photography and recipes on this page don't hesitate to contact me via the same method.

Let it be noted however that I will not provide free advertising for your client/company/press release/competition, etc.

Thanks so much!

DISCLOSURE

Being afforded the opportunity to play with, test, review and trial new products, both edible and otherwise is one of the perks of and a huge part of the food blogging world.   I, personally, really enjoy this aspect of food blogging and will always endeavor to be as honest as possible with both my readers and those who have provided me with a product or products to trial, read or review.  If I don't like something or if it hasn't performed to what I believe is a high standard I will always let you know.

Because I am a Latter Day Saint, I do not drink black teas, coffees or Alcohol.  I also do not smoke.  I do cook with alcohol from time to time, but that is all.   It is impossible for me to do an honest review of any of this type of products unless they are herbal teas, and I will not accept any to  review on this basis.

I also will not accept any product that I feel is not in standing with what I aim to promote on my blog or that I feel would not be of interest to my readership, because at the end of the day, it is my readers whom I write for.  They are my raison d'etre and I appreciate and love every one of them.  If you are reading this, this means YOU!  Big hugs!

  1. I tried to contact you, but that requires creating a Google account - and I don't use Google (except YouTube) as nearly every spam/spoof/ghost on my accounts has been from Google.

    I would like permission to quote/use a page of yours on my website for people that are struggling financially (spendnomoneyDOTwordpressDOTcom) in the food tab. Of course it provides a link to your website. I can email you a prototype of the graphic if you let me know where to send it.

  2. I also dislike dishonesty and misinformation. I don't know the website to which you refer, but your comments make me think of most cook books, which use food stylists and expert photography to present food in a way designed to promote sales rather than to show what is achievable at home. But my biggest complaint is for websites that claim recipes are healthy but are, in fact, loaded with salt, sugar, saturated fat and ultra-processed food such as ham, wieners, white bread and canned soup. It may be unintentional, but it is still misleading. And it is always a shame to see a plate where the emphasis is on the protein, not vegetables and whole grains.

    1. I wasn't referring to any website in particular. I was just stating what I endeavor to do on here. I do all of my own photography and have gotten much better at it through the years as I have gotten better cameras. I cook everything myself and present it exactly as it looks. I do like ham, wieners, white bread and do use canned soup from time to time. I do not believe that I have ever presented such as being a healthy option.

Thanks for stopping by. I love to hear from you so do not be shy!


BEFORE LEAVING A COMMENT OR RATING, ASK YOURSELF:
Did you make the recipe as directed? Recipe results are not guaranteed when changes have been made.

Is this comment helpful to other readers? Rude or hateful comments will not be approved. Remember that this website is run by a real person.

Are you here to complain about ads? Please keep in mind that I develop these recipes and provide them to you for free. Advertising helps to defray my cost of doing so, and allows me to continue to post regular fresh content.

Thanks so much for your understanding! I appreciate you!
