Work with us
Write for us
We commission a small number of pieces a year from cooks who can write down what happened, including the parts that went wrong.
What we are looking for
We are not looking for recipe lists or round-ups. We commission pieces built around a technique, a single ingredient, or a family recipe with a story attached — and we expect the writer to have cooked the thing several times before pitching.
How to pitch
Send a short pitch to editorial@jzko.site with:
- Two sentences on the dish or technique and why it deserves a piece.
- One paragraph on what makes your version different from what is already published.
- Roughly how many times you have cooked it, and what changed between attempts.
- A link to any writing you have had published, or a short sample.
What we pay and what we expect
- Rates are agreed before you start and paid within 14 days of publication.
- We expect at least two documented test runs and a photograph or two of the process, even if we shoot the final images ourselves.
- Every commission goes through the same testing process as our own recipes. That is not a formality — it is the reason we only commission a few pieces a year.
- You keep the right to reuse your piece elsewhere after 90 days.
What we do not accept
Guest posts containing links to commercial sites. Sponsored recipes. Anything written from research rather than from a hob.
