Welcome to Honest Cooking – from our family to yours.
Since 2011, Honest Cooking has been a vibrant home for food and travel lovers around the world. Here, you’ll find inspiring recipes, thoughtful wine guides, and stories from destinations where food, people, and place come together.
Powered by a community of writers, chefs, and creators from across the globe, our goal has always been to shine a light on the best of gastronomy and travel — from the humble home kitchen to the world’s most remarkable restaurants.
We were founded on a simple principle: to share personal favorites from the most interesting food and travel voices anywhere. Honest Cooking celebrates diversity in cooking styles and culinary traditions, encouraging readers to explore, experiment, and push their own boundaries.
When it comes to cooking, we love everything from the simplest comfort dishes to the most elaborate home-chef projects. And when we travel, we seek out the places where food and culture are inseparable — where great meals tell stories of their surroundings. You’ll often find us in hotels and resorts that strive to create something truly memorable.
Introducing Honest Cooking: Dinner Tonight
In 2025, we expanded our mission from storytelling to daily inspiration with Honest Cooking: Dinner Tonight — our new AI-powered app that brings a personal food editor into your pocket. Each day, it suggests one dinner idea perfectly matched to your mood, schedule, and taste. No scrolling, no endless searching — just a single thoughtful recipe that feels like it was chosen for you.
It’s the next chapter in what Honest Cooking has always stood for: curiosity, creativity, and connection through food.
We hope you’ll enjoy your time with us — whether you’re reading, cooking, traveling, or discovering your next favorite meal through the app.
If you have any questions or just want to say hello, drop us a line — we’d love to hear from you.

On my site I offer “recipe bundles” consisting of 4 recipes in various categories with shopping lists, available for instant downloads. I also have a Blog on my site and am currently working on partnerships with various Gluten Free Blog Networks. I am looking for other ways, venues to get my recipes out to the Gluten Free friends who may need them most! I would love to be a contributor under the Gluten Free category on your site. How do I go about doing so?
I’d love the opportunity!
Thank you,
Amy Reid

Hello Honest Cooking,
My name is Annada Rathi and I am a regular contributor to Food52. I am interested in pitching ideas to Honest Cooking. My specialty is Indian cooking and Indian flavors and how to incorporate Indian flavors into everyday dishes of American cooking like salads, soups, sandwiches, wraps, rolls and burgers. Please let me know to whom I can pitch my ideas and if there is any specific preferred format for the pitches.
Thank you!
I would love more savoury gluten free, vegan and of course East Indian flovours. How can I contact you! Love what you have offered on this site and it caught my interest.
