Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: September 15, 2025

FTC Compliance Statement

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, I, NURA, want to be completely transparent about the affiliate relationships and partnerships associated with Tasty Recipes (tastiirecipes.com).

What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special tracking links that allow me to earn a small commission when you make a purchase through them, at no additional cost to you. When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, the company pays me a percentage of the sale as a referral fee.

Important: You will never pay more because of an affiliate link. The price remains exactly the same whether you use my link or go directly to the retailer.

Where You’ll Find Affiliate Links

I may include affiliate links in:

  • Recipe posts: For ingredients, kitchen tools, and cookware recommendations
  • Product reviews: When I review kitchen equipment or food products
  • Resource pages: Lists of recommended tools, books, or ingredients
  • Newsletter content: Product recommendations in emails
  • Social media posts: When I share product recommendations

Current Affiliate Partnerships

Amazon Associates Program

Tasty Recipes is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.

What this means:

  • I earn a small commission on qualifying Amazon purchases made through my links
  • You pay the same price whether you use my link or not
  • I only recommend products I personally use or genuinely believe would benefit my readers

Other Affiliate Programs

I may also participate in affiliate programs with:

  • Kitchen equipment brands (KitchenAid, Cuisinart, etc.)
  • Ingredient suppliers (specialty food retailers, spice companies)
  • Cookbook publishers
  • Cooking course platforms
  • Food delivery services
  • Kitchen subscription boxes

This list may be updated as I explore new partnerships that benefit my readers.

My Commitment to You

Honest Recommendations Only

I only promote products that I:

  • Have personally used and found valuable, OR
  • Have thoroughly researched and believe would genuinely help my readers
  • Stand behind with confidence

No Influence on Content

My affiliate partnerships do NOT influence:

  • Recipe development: I create recipes based on taste and accessibility, not affiliate potential
  • Product recommendations: I recommend what works best, not what pays most
  • Honest reviews: I share both pros and cons of products
  • Editorial decisions: Content is created to help readers, not drive sales

Clear Disclosure

I will always disclose affiliate relationships by:

  • Including this disclosure page and linking to it from relevant content
  • Using clear language like “affiliate link,” “I earn from qualifying purchases,” or similar phrases
  • Marking sponsored content when applicable
  • Being transparent in all communications

Types of Compensation

Affiliate Commissions

  • Percentage-based: Usually 1-10% of purchase price
  • Flat-rate: Fixed amount per sale or action
  • Cookie duration: Typically 24 hours to 30 days (time you have to complete purchase for me to earn commission)

Other Potential Compensation

I may also receive:

  • Free products: For review and testing purposes
  • Sponsored content fees: For dedicated product posts (always clearly marked)
  • Event partnerships: Compensation for representing brands at events

Any such arrangements will be clearly disclosed in the relevant content.

Your Rights and Choices

No Obligation

  • You are never obligated to purchase anything through my affiliate links

  • Value for money: Products that provide good value at their price point

What I Won’t Promote
