Affiliate links

How partner store links work here, what we earn from them, and what never changes because of them.

Last updated: 8 November 2026

The short version

Some equipment and ingredient pages show products from partner stores, under the description, in a box headed “Where to buy”. Recipes gather the same products for their ingredients and gear in a row headed “Shop this recipe”. Both are marked Affiliate links. If you click through and buy, the store may pay us a commission. You pay the same price.

We choose what to list and write what we say about it. Commission never decides what we recommend, and a partner cannot pay to change a recipe, a rating or our advice.

Where they appear

On equipment and ingredient pages, below the description, and on recipe pages, in one row under the ingredient list. Each has the label next to the heading and a disclosure line under the products. They never appear inside a recipe method, in Cook Mode, in quiz answers or in the chef's answers about a dish.

For now they are shown only to visitors in Australia, and only for stores that deliver here.

How we choose what to list

  • The item has to be something the recipes on this site actually call for.
  • We list a product because it does the job the page describes, not because it pays the most.
  • The one-line note on each product is ours, not the store's advertising copy.
  • A store can ask us to list a product. We decide whether to, and we can remove any listing at any time.
  • We do not accept payment for reviews, ratings, rankings or a place in a recipe.

What happens when you click

When you click a partner link, we record which link it was, which page it was on, the country you are in and the time. We do not record your name, account, IP address or any cookie of ours with it. Then you are sent straight on to the store.

The store can see you arrived from this site and may set its own cookies so it can credit a sale to us. What happens on its site is covered by its own terms and privacy policy, not ours. Our privacy policy and cookie page have the details.

Prices, stock and buying

We do not show prices, because they change faster than we can check them. The price, stock, delivery, returns and warranty are whatever the store says on its own page when you buy.

When you buy, your purchase is with the store, not with us. We do not sell, take payment for, handle or deliver anything. Your consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law apply against the store that sold it and the manufacturer, and nothing here takes them away.

No display ads

Affiliate links are the only way the site earns money. There are no display ads anywhere, and Cook Mode has no partner links either.

A problem with a listing

If a link is broken, the product has changed, or something about a listing seems wrong, tell us and we will fix it or take it down. Stores interested in being listed can read partner with us.

Before you start cooking

Your pantry, saved recipes and meal plans are stored on this device so the site works — that part can't be switched off. We count page visits and measure page speed. There are no ads. Separately, we can count anonymous feature usage. That part is your call, and it stays off unless you say yes.
