First of all, I’d like to extend you a warm welcome to Honest Cooking. In this very humble, but ambitious corner of the web, our hope and vision is that you will be able to find the most inspiring online food magazine in the world.
Yes, we do set the bar high for ourselves, and we understand that the work ahead is huge, but with the fantastic team of contributors that is behind Honest Cooking I personally feel confident that we will have a good chance to give you – our reader – something uniquely appetizing. 
So what can you expect from Honest Cooking? Well, first of all Honest Cooking is all about food and beverages. About living the good life. About the joy of cooking, eating, drinking and experiencing.
The group of people behind Honest Cooking – consisting of more than 200 of the world’s most fantastic food writers, bloggers, wine experts, beer maniacs, baristas, mixologists, food photographers and chefs – are all driven by a deeply rooted passion for the culinary world. Some focus on very technical aspects of wine production in France, some on how to make the perfect BBQ marinade – others on how to get the kids to eat their vegetables or where to dine in Paris. They are spread out across the world – from Shanghai and Hong Kong, via Sydney and Cape Town, throughout Europe, Canada, USA and across to Hawaii, ensuring that you will always get the international perspective.
Their worlds are literally worlds apart. What unites them is that they all believe in good honest cooking, honest writing and honest products.
Now, enough with the self promotion. Let’s eat!

Amazing web site :)
Thanks a lot Cake Girl – much appreciated, and we’ll do our best to keep you satisfied in the future!
I’ve been a fan of yours since you started blogging but I have to admit that I have been a lurker (laugh). Wonderful site Kalle and I’m really looking forward to devouring the offerings.
Congratulations and much success!
Oh, thank you so much Cynthia. I hope you will find even more enjoyment in all the amazing contributors that are involved in Honest Cooking. And thanks for un-lurking!
;)
What a great place… I love the very concept. Nothing unifies like food!
Thank you deeba! Happy to hear that you like it!
I used to pop by your blog every now and then. Congratulations on your new website!
Hey Leaf, thank you very much. Hope this new magazine will more inspiring than my old blog ;)
I found this website through Maria (Scandi Foodie), just great!
Katarina, thank you! Glad to hear you like it, you’ll see some very nice stuff from Maria and many others here in the future.
Hey Kalle — you’re my new hero. Beautiful, informative ‘magazine’ you have here. Makes me not quite so sad that Gourmet died — those are big shoes to fill, but maybe you can do it! Hope so,
Thanks for the salmon piece. I’ll try it tonight.

Wow, we bow our heads! Thank you for those kind words. And I can promise you we will do our very very best not to disappoint you, even if – as you say – those are some big shoes to fill.
Checking out this site for this first time!
Love the content, love the layout, love the logo and typeface! I will definitely be coming back.
Extremely glad to hear Amy – welcome, and welcome back!!
I’m glad I found this site (through Maria’s blog). Very excited to read through posts.
Love the site already – terrific job getting such talent together in one site. But try, if you can, to convince the contributors to add a couple of process pictures (or even short videos) for the trickier recipes, to let the less-experienced foodies among us understand what’s going on and learn from the masters. Oh, and ratings!
Hey Jens, thanks for the nice comment – much appreciated!
I’m sure you’ll see some process pics going forward, AND we’ve just introduced a new recipe format where you can rate the recipes – it will be implemented over the coming weeks.
Again, thanks – have a great evening.
All the best
Kalle
Good day Kalle, I tried to send my info but when I click on your email adress I get a message that says my default mail server is not properly installed. Not quite sure what to do about that but if and when you have time maybe you could email me and I will get back to you. Can’t wait to look through all of your articles and recipes. I got here by a link on my Facebook through Spicie Foodie.

I love this site. We belong to a farm co-op and they give us some veggies we’ve never used. So often we are given the advice of salads or stir fry. I was so tired of salad and stir fry. Then I found this AMAZING site which listed delicious recipes to use our new wonderful veggies. PLUS, so many of the ingredients are already in my kitchen! Thank you for helping me make the most of our farm!
Excellent write-up. I absolutely love this website. Stick
with it!
