Contribute
Share a recipe or a memory.
If your family has a dish worth keeping, send it. We'll read it, credit you the way you ask, and add it to the archive.
What happens to your submission
A person reads it. You stay in charge of the credit.
No submission is published without a human reading it.
You send it
A recipe, a memory, or a fragment. 'My grandfather made a soup and I only remember the smell' is a real submission and we mean that.
A person reads it
Not a queue, not an algorithm. We read every submission and decide whether it belongs in the archive, a story feature, or a guide.
We check with you
If we have questions — an amount, a spelling, a name — we ask. If our edit changes what you meant, you see it before anyone else does.
It publishes, credited your way
Full name, first name, initials, or anonymous — whichever you chose.
You can still change your mind
Email us and it comes down, or the credit changes. No reason required, no argument from us.
Your rights, in short
You keep your recipe.
Sending it to us is permission to publish, not a transfer of ownership. The full terms are deliberately short and written in plain English.
Read the contributor agreementYou choose the credit
Full name, first name, initials, or anonymous — and you can change it later.
We never invent details
No fabricated names, places, or family relationships. Ever.
Edits stay honest
We'll fix spelling and length. If an edit changes your meaning, you approve it first.
You can withdraw
One email, no reason needed.
Contributions are unpaid
We say so up front. If we ever want to build a paid guide around your work, we agree terms with you first.
Your family has a cookbook. Nobody made it yet.
Start it here. One dish, one memory, one set of amounts nobody ever wrote down.
