PastaPeak carries affiliate links. Here is exactly what that means for what you read.
In practice
When a purchase follows one of those links, the seller sends us a small percentage. Your total is exactly what it would have been otherwise.
Spotting them
Affiliate links are not hidden. Where a link earns us something, the page says so nearby, and this disclosure is linked from the footer of every page on the site.
What a recommendation rests on
Products are chosen from published specifications, manufacturer documentation, standards bodies where they exist, and what owners report over time. Where we have used something ourselves the text says so explicitly; where we have not, it does not pretend otherwise.
What we cannot promise
Price and availability sit with the retailer and change without notice. A figure in an article records what it cost at the time of writing, and nothing more.
Why this page exists
United States rules require this page. Under the Federal Trade Commission’s endorsement guides, a material connection between a publisher and a recommended product has to be disclosed clearly and near the recommendation itself, which is what we do.
What commission does not change
A product is recommended because it does the job in the context we describe it, not because it pays better. Nothing we publish about pasta and noodle dishes is written to order, and no advertiser sees a page before it goes live.
Display ads
The other source of income is display advertising via Google AdSense. An ad appearing next to an article means nothing about the article.
Questions
Questions about any specific link, or about a recommendation you think is mistaken, are welcome through the contact page.
