Editorial principles

Last updated: November 11, 2026

What I write on this site comes from my own experience. Whenever I’ve received money, products or anything else in return, or have a business relationship with a place, I say so plainly.

Advertising and partnerships

Every post that involves a paid partnership, a sponsorship or an affiliate link carries an “Ad” label under the title and an “Advertising and partnerships” note at the end. The note names the brand and the nature of the relationship. Example: Ad · This post contains advertising for ConnectedYou.

I may earn a commission on purchases made through affiliate links; those links are marked separately. Tasting experiences and events I host with brands are labeled as advertising too.

Consulting and ownership

When I write about a place I advise through Anaterranean, or one I co-own, I say so in the post. If the relationship has ended, I say when.

As of November 2026: I am a partner in WAM by Karma. I advised Karma Bodrum on its opening in 2025 and no longer do. Selected projects are on the Anaterranean page.

Invitations, hospitality and the bill

If I was invited somewhere or accepted anything on the house, the post says so. If there’s no such note, I paid the bill.

I never accept payment, discounts or any other benefit from a place in exchange for appearing in my lists, guides or posts.

Before publishing

No restaurant or venue sees what I write about it before it’s published. In paid partnerships, facts such as dates, prices and terms may be checked with the brand; the opinions are mine.

Podcast and social media

Brand partnerships on Yemekte Bile Yemek Konuşuyoruz are disclosed both out loud in the episode and in its description. Paid Instagram posts say so in the first line of the caption.

Photos and images

Every photo and image is credited underneath with its owner’s name, whether a content creator, a designer, a friend or me. AI-generated images are clearly labeled as such too.

Updates and corrections

When I update an older post, the update date appears under the title. If you spot a mistake, write to me and I’ll fix it; if it matters, I’ll note the correction at the end of the post.
