Welcome to Jalbite Blog’s Creative Kitchen
Hey there, fellow food traveler! Is your mind brimming with ideas about world cuisines, your grandmother’s best-kept cooking secret, or a funky kitchen hack that never fails to impress? Got a burning desire to write about the way food weaves us into cultures and communities? Then you’ve just found your flavor-packed home.
At Jalbite Blog, we bring food stories to life — from the low simmer of local dishes to the sizzling heat of global food trends. Founded by flavor-chaser and culture-digger Rendric Dornhaven, we’re all about capturing that culinary pulse and turning it into words that feed the soul. Based in Colorado but inspired by the kitchens of the world, we blend laid-back storytelling with slices of insight and plenty of spice.
We’re Looking for Fresh Voices — Bring Your Appetite
Have a perspective on food you wish more people heard? Maybe you’ve discovered a hidden gastronomic gem tucked into a street stall in Bangkok, or a recipe that shares your roots like no other. Or maybe your thing is tinkering in the kitchen and writing about the wild magic that happens. We want to hear from you!
We’re building a quirky, vibrant table of writers — people just like you — with something to say and a bite of knowledge you’re itching to share. Whether you’re all about cooking hacks, regional food traditions, or spinning tales around the universal language of taste, you’ve got a seat here with us.

Submission Guidelines (Pretty Chill, Still Important)
We want this to be a great fit for you and for us. Here’s how to roll it out:
- Pitch us your idea first — a few lines or a full outline, your call. We like knowing your angle before the write-up.
- Original content is queen — no re-posts from your blog or AI copy-pastes, please!
- Aim for 800–1,200 words that are engaging, accessible, and light on jargon.
- We adore photos, but make sure any images you share are your own or properly credited (and permitted for use).
- Mention any useful links to support stats or facts. Bonus points if you reference something from our Purpose or existing content catalog.

Your moment to shine is just an email away. Send your pitch or completed piece (Word doc or Google doc is fine) to [email protected], with the subject line “Jalbite Submission – [Your Article Title]”. Make sure to introduce yourself too — we love putting a story to the name.

Your Voice Matters — Seriously
