Transparency Matters

Affiliate Disclosure

Our commitment to honesty, transparency, and trust.

Last updated: June 2026

At The Savory Recipe, transparency is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that you, our reader, deserve to know exactly how our website operates, including how we may earn income through affiliate partnerships. This Affiliate Disclosure page explains what affiliate links are, which programs we participate in, and how your support helps us continue creating the content you love.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special URLs that contain a unique tracking code. When you click on one of these links and make a purchase on a partner website (such as Amazon), we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same as if you had visited the merchant’s site directly. Think of it as a way for the store to thank us for sending customers their way.

★ Important: Clicking an affiliate link never increases the price you pay. In fact, we sometimes negotiate exclusive discounts for our readers.

Our Affiliate Programs

The Savory Recipe participates in several affiliate advertising programs. These partnerships allow us to earn revenue that supports the cost of running our website, recipe testing, photography equipment, and the time we invest in creating high-quality content for you.

Amazon Associates Program

As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases made through links to Amazon.com and its affiliated sites. Amazon is one of the largest online retailers in the world, and their Associates program is a primary way we monetize our product recommendations. When you click an Amazon affiliate link on our site and purchase within 24 hours (or add items to your cart via that link), we receive a small percentage of the sale.

Awin

We are also a publisher member of Awin, a global affiliate marketing network. Through Awin, we partner with a wide range of reputable merchants in the kitchen, culinary, and lifestyle spaces. These partnerships allow us to recommend specialty tools, ingredients, and brands that we genuinely love. Awin links are clearly marked and always lead to products we have personally used or thoroughly researched.

Other Programs

From time to time, we may participate in other affiliate networks or direct brand partnerships. Regardless of the program, our commitment remains the same: we only promote products we believe in, and we always disclose affiliate relationships clearly and conspicuously.

Our Commitment to You

We only recommend products that we have personally used, tested in our own kitchen, and genuinely love. We never recommend a product solely for the commission. If we would not buy it for ourselves or recommend it to a family member, we will not recommend it to you, period.

  • Honest Reviews: Our opinions are always our own. We provide balanced, honest assessments of every product we feature, including both pros and cons.
  • No Freebies for Positive Reviews: We do not accept free products in exchange for positive reviews. If a brand sends us a product to test, we disclose that fact and provide our honest opinion regardless.
  • Editorial Independence: Our affiliate relationships never influence our editorial content. Recipes, articles, and recommendations are created independently of any commercial partnerships.
  • Clear Labeling: Affiliate links on our site are clearly identified. We use visual cues and disclosure statements so you always know when a link is monetized.

FTC Compliance

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines regarding endorsements and testimonials in advertising, we want to be fully transparent about our affiliate relationships. The FTC requires that we disclose any material connection between us and the brands we promote. This means that whenever we include an affiliate link in a blog post, resource page, or shop listing, we clearly state that we may earn a commission if you make a purchase through that link.

We take FTC compliance seriously and have implemented disclosure practices across our website, including:

  • A prominent affiliate disclosure banner at the top of monetized pages.
  • In-line disclosures near individual affiliate links where appropriate.
  • This dedicated Affiliate Disclosure page, linked from our footer and referenced throughout the site.
  • Clear language that is easy to understand, not buried in fine print.
★ FTC Statement: Some of the links on The Savory Recipe are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase. This comes at no additional cost to you. We only recommend products we trust. Your support helps us continue creating free, high-quality content. Thank you!

Sponsored Content

Occasionally, we may publish sponsored posts or collaborate with brands on paid campaigns. In such cases, we will always clearly label the content as sponsored or paid partnership at the top of the page. Sponsored content will always align with our values and be relevant to our audience. We retain full editorial control and will never promote a product or service we do not genuinely support.

Questions?

If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships, a specific product recommendation, or anything else related to how we monetize this website, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are happy to provide additional details and transparency.
