Editorial Policy

Editorial Policy

Last updated: August 12, 2026

A Grateful Kitchen is an independent food blog written and developed by Amaya Gibson in Massachusetts, USA. This Editorial Policy explains how I create content, how I’m compensated, and the standards I hold myself to — so you can trust what you read and cook.

Editorial Independence

All recipes, articles, and opinions on this site are my own. I choose what to write about based on what I cook and love — never on what a sponsor wants me to feature. Sponsored content, gifted products, and paid placements never influence how I test, develop, or write a recipe. If a product or brand is mentioned, it’s because I genuinely use and recommend it.

Recipe Testing

I’m committed to sharing tested, honest recipes. My process:

  • Every recipe is tested at least twice in my own home kitchen before publishing.
  • Recipes are developed for real home cooks, with common ingredients and clear substitutions.
  • When I adapt a recipe from someone else, I credit the source and make my changes clear.
  • If a recipe doesn’t work for me in testing, it doesn’t get published — no exceptions.

Content Accuracy & Corrections

I strive for accuracy in every measurement, technique, and piece of information I publish. I review and update content regularly. If an error is identified, I correct it promptly and transparently. If you spot something wrong, please contact me — I’m grateful for the help.

Sponsored Content & Advertising

From time to time, this site may include:

  • Sponsored posts — clearly marked as sponsored or “in partnership with” a brand.
  • Affiliate links — I may earn a small commission if you buy through links I share, at no extra cost to you.
  • Gifted products — if I feature a product I was given, I disclose it.

Affiliate and sponsored content never changes the substance of my recommendations. I only recommend things I’d recommend to a friend regardless of compensation. Opinions are always my own.

Nutrition Information

Nutrition information is provided as a courtesy and is an estimate that may vary based on ingredients, brands, and preparation. See the full Nutrition Disclaimer.

Comments & Community

I welcome respectful comments and questions. I reserve the right to remove comments that are spam, abusive, or off-topic. This is a space for grateful, helpful conversation around food.
