If you would like to engage my services as a recipe developer, freelance food writer, food photographer and stylist, or for me to blog about your product or service, please respect me enough not to expect me to work for you for free. Blogging, recipe development and food photography involves a substantial investment of time and money on my behalf, there’s hosting fees, computer equipment, cameras, camera lenses etc pay for, none of which comes freely. My landlord, phone company, electricity supplier and supermarket don’t accept baskets of fruit and vegetables, cookbooks, kitchen utensils or “exposure” as forms of payment, and neither do I.

My readers are, and always will be, my number one priority, and as a result I carefully consider what I share with my readers and will only share products that I personally enjoy, feel comfortable recommending and think my readers will be interested in. My integrity is important, which I am sure you can appreciate.  If you send me something in the mail, thank you so much, but please don’t do so with the expectation that I will write about whatever it is you send. While your parcel may garner a mention in my Twitter and/or Facebook feeds, and I may write about it on Delicieux, I will only do so if I feel my readers will be interested. If you want to send me something with the expectation I will write about it, please contact me first as I like to be clear about expectations from the start and avoid surprises.
