Editorial policy

Our standards for recipes, stories, and reviews.

How we approach writing, sources, product recommendations, and corrections.

Last updated September 6, 2026

Useful advice

Educational pages should teach first.

Recipes, explainers, and culture pieces are expected to stand on their own before any shopping or product references are layered in. If the page is mainly about a bottle or buying decision, it should read like a review or buying guide instead of pretending to be pure education.

Originality

Specificity beats filler.

We want pages to sound grounded in real kitchen use, shelf context, and practical decision-making. Repetitive phrasing, vague hype, or templated “craveable” copy is a sign a page needs more work before it deserves wider visibility.

Affiliate links

Be clear about how the site earns money.

We label affiliate links and explain how purchases may support the site. Ingredient guides and cooking advice should remain useful whether or not you buy anything.

Sourcing and updates

What we try to make explicit.

Explanatory pages should be anchored in clear kitchen context, observable product details, and sourceable facts where claims depend on outside information.

We use generative and rules-based publishing tools to support research organization, drafting, image selection or illustration, formatting, and QA. A page still has to meet the same usefulness and trust standards before it stays public.

Editorial pen names group our coverage by subject. FlamingFoodies remains responsible for publication decisions and corrections.

We revise or remove pages when information becomes outdated, a claim cannot be supported, or the advice is not useful enough to keep.

Bylines and editorial personas

Names should clarify responsibility, never manufacture authority.

These are FlamingFoodies editorial pen names, each covering a different subject. They do not represent individual employees or personal testing experience. Persona profiles describe an assigned subject area and voice, not a made-up résumé. A persona byline is not evidence that an individual cooked, tasted, traveled, interviewed, or attended something. When first-hand work is completed, the page must say what was done; when it was not, the copy must not imply otherwise.
