On The Food Front

I am very conscious about the relationship that exists between food, the environment, and the body (even the mind!). I don’t have a rigorous approach to health, but rather a light-hearted one because I see it as an adventure. I myself am on a life-long journey of discovering what works for me, all the while eating delicious food. I am not afraid to try things so you are guaranteed to never have bored taste buds, but I am also respectful of your own tastes. Moreover, the quality of ingredients are very important to me, as it affects the taste and nutrient-density of a food. Sharing my passion for cooking and overall well-being is something I love to do.

Sponsor

Katharina’s Food Adventures love to work with companies whose philosophy aligns with the blog.

My posts sometimes feature products I recommend and personally use. They are not pitched on the behalf of advertisers, just what I prefer to use–whether it’s in my kitchen, on my skin, or my “camera” eye.

If you’re interested in becoming a sponsor on Katharina’s Food Adventures, please contact me at onthepolkadot@hotmail.com

You can also donate as a gift to help Katharina continue to have food adventures.

Product Reviews and Giveaways

I am open to reviews, host giveaways, and blog about them. Most of my reviews can be seen here.

If you are interested in having me review your product, host a giveaway or contest, or a combination post (i.e. review and a giveaway), email me with the details.

Notes about Product Reviews and Giveaways:

Please make sure what you are contacting me about is relevant for my blog.  I am a vegetarian who cares about the quality of life.  On my blog I share mostly recipes, dining-out, lifestyle, beauty, books, grocery products, and fashion. My readers are all around the world, and also open to trying new things.

I will only do reviews and/or giveaways with products I have had a chance to personally try first.

I will host the giveaway on your behalf and will contact you with a winner, but you will be responsible for supplying and shipping the product to the winner.
