wajahatmughalAre you surprised we found 118 websites, blogs, and online magazines that want your food and drinks articles.Honestly, we knew this list wouldn’t be short — but we didn’t expect to find over 100 sites either.
Websites and online magazines that specialize in food or drink topics? Yes, absolutely. And websites that say yes to articles on those topics regularly, even if food and drink are not the main theme of the site. (Everybody eats and drinks. We’re pretty sure you could pitch almost any site a food or drink topic and get a yes, if you know their audience well enough to target your pitch to their interests.)
And every one of these sites is known to pay freelance writers at least $50 per article. Most of them pay a lot more — some as much as $3,000!
Food Blogging Is Just Writing about Cooking, Right?
Sometimes, yes. And sometimes no.
Can you find food articles about how to cook? Yep. Absolutely. No questions asked. But that’s not the only way to write about food. Look through this list and you’ll find more variety than you imagined.
Do a site search on any of the listed sites (especially the non-cooking ones) and you’ll see all sorts of different types of food stories — for example, food politics and food business.
As for the food-themed blogs and sites, some of them are about cooking (or cooking-related subjects). You’ll find an assortment of non-cooking themes too.
Food politics, food manufacturing, farming, food distribution, restaurant business, weird food, food history, travel stories about food, cultural food experiences. And I haven’t even touched the parenting tips about feeding kids or the how-to-feed-yourself-when-you’re-insanely-busy topics.

5. Basically
Basically is Bon Appetit’s simple cooking blog. A blog to help you feel more confident in the kitchen. Recipes, how-tos, and other food-related articles that teach their readers something. Because it’s a blog, photos and videos can be a part of the story (if that’s something you want to add). Cooking techniques, favorite ingredients, or a beloved kitchen tool could be topics for a blog post.
