Tasty is opening its doors to fresh voices in food writing — the kind who understand home cooking as a lifestyle, not a performance. Ross Yoder wants writers who can bring a warm, grounded, Kenyan-friendly perspective to global food conversations. If you’re the kind of writer who obsesses over viral food trends, loves explaining clever kitchen hacks, or can tell culture-rich food stories that resonate far beyond the plate, this is your lane.

They’re looking for writers who can pitch evergreen food content, timely explainers, identity-driven food narratives, and smart takes on the dining trends dominating social feeds. Recipes aren’t the main priority, but if you have a fire recipe angle, you can still pitch it.

What They’re Looking For:

• Takes on viral food trends everyone keeps seeing online
• Lists of budget-friendly grocery staples & how you turn them into meals
• Deep dives into buzzy food/dining culture moments
• Explanatory kitchen hacks or tips not enough people know about
• Personal, identity-based food stories with emotional range
• Occasional recipe-driven ideas if strong & well-framed
