From time to time, we will purchase products or ingredients for you to cook with for the purpose of reviewing, and in some cases where we have relationships with companies, they will send you free review products.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and produce new recipes and reviews
• Work with the editorial team to brainstorm future recipe and review ideas
