About Culinary Travels

Culinary Travels is an independent editorial food and travel publication written and edited by Georgina Ingham. The site documents real cooking, real places, and cultural food experiences for readers planning meals, trips, and everyday life.

Articles combine narrative travel writing with practical guidance, with the aim of helping readers make informed decisions about where to go, what to eat, and how to cook with confidence at home.

I work with tourism organisations, food producers, and selected lifestyle brands where collaborations are relevant to readers and fit naturally within the editorial scope of the site. Projects may include recipe development, travel features, photography, product reviews, and press trip coverage.

A portfolio of previous work and audience information is available via the media kit on request or through the writing portfolio page.

Editorial Independence

Culinary Travels operates with full editorial independence. All content is written or curated under editorial control, with every feature reviewed, edited, and published in line with the publication’s standards.

Brands, PR representatives, and commercial partners do not have approval over editorial opinions, recommendations, conclusions, or final published wording. Where appropriate, a source or partner may be asked to verify factual information relating specifically to their organisation, product, destination, or experience, but final editorial decisions remain solely with the editor.

Collaborations do not guarantee positive coverage, and invitations, press trips, gifted products, or samples do not guarantee that an article will be published. Experiences are described as they occurred and assessed according to their relevance and usefulness to Culinary Travels readers.

The purpose of Culinary Travels is to inform readers rather than simply promote products or destinations, and recommendations are made only where they are genuinely useful to the reader’s experience.

Editorial & Contributor Standards

Culinary Travels is a curated publication. Most content is written in-house, although occasional expert contributions and collaborative features may be considered where they bring genuine first-hand knowledge, specialist expertise, access, or insight that strengthens the editorial value of a piece.

Culinary Travels does not accept generic guest posts, pre-written SEO articles, or contributions whose primary purpose is securing a backlink.

All submitted or contributed material is subject to full editorial review, editing, and fact-checking before publication. Submission of material does not guarantee publication, and final editorial decisions remain with the editor.

Contributors must ensure that material is original, accurate, and does not infringe third-party rights. Where relevant, appropriate permissions and credits must be supplied.

Please do not send completed articles unless they have been specifically requested.

How to Pitch

Culinary Travels welcomes thoughtful, well-matched pitches relating to food, travel, regional culture, culinary tourism, cooking, hospitality, and closely related subjects.

Please note that Culinary Travels is not currently commissioning freelance writers or accepting pitches for paid editorial assignments.

For PR, expert contribution, and commercial collaboration proposals, please send a specific idea rather than a general offer to contribute or collaborate.

A useful pitch should explain the proposed angle or central idea, why it is relevant to Culinary Travels readers, what you or your organisation can contribute to the piece, and any particular expertise, access, first-hand experience, imagery, research, or seasonal relevance involved.

Please also make clear whether you are proposing an editorial contribution, a PR opportunity, or a paid commercial collaboration. For commercial proposals, please include the available budget.

If inclusion of a particular website, product, service, or link forms part of the proposal, please state this clearly when pitching, including the destination you would like considered.

Pitches should be tailored to Culinary Travels and relevant primarily to a UK and European readership. General company introductions, broad offers to “provide content”, and proposals without a discernible editorial angle are unlikely to be progressed.

Due to the volume of enquiries, not every pitch can receive an individual response. If a proposal is a strong editorial fit, I’ll be in touch.

Affiliate Links and Commercial Relationships

Some articles contain affiliate links. This means Culinary Travels may earn a small commission if a reader makes a purchase or booking through certain links, at no additional cost to the reader.

Affiliate links are included only where the relevant product, service, accommodation, venue, or experience is editorially relevant to the article.

Sponsored collaborations and paid features are clearly disclosed. Links included as part of a commercial arrangement are appropriately qualified using attributes such as rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow" in accordance with advertising and search engine guidelines.

Culinary Travels does not offer undisclosed paid placements or paid dofollow links.

All links remain subject to editorial review. Articles may be updated over time to maintain accuracy, relevance, and usefulness to readers, and Culinary Travels reserves the right to amend or remove links where editorial circumstances change.

Reviews and Recommendations Policy

Recommendations on Culinary Travels are based on first-hand experience wherever possible.

Recipes are tested in a domestic kitchen environment using typical home equipment. Cooking times, substitutions, and notes reflect real preparation rather than professional test kitchen conditions.

Travel information reflects visits made by the author unless otherwise stated. Complimentary meals, invitations, or review samples do not influence conclusions. If an experience is unsatisfactory, it may not be featured, or it may be reflected accordingly.

Practical information such as opening hours, pricing, and transport details is checked at the time of writing but may change over time.

A Quick Note from the Kitchen

Cooking results vary depending on ingredients, equipment, and experience level. Ovens, hobs, and kitchen environments differ, and small adjustments may be necessary.

Please consider allergens, food safety guidance, and your own dietary needs when preparing recipes. Culinary Travels cannot accept responsibility for individual cooking outcomes, but every recipe is written to be clear, practical, and achievable in a home kitchen.

Cook attentively, taste as you go, and enjoy the process.
