Our Editorial Standards at Iberianeats.com

At Iberianeats.com, we’re passionate about bringing the vibrant, diverse flavors of Spanish, Portuguese, and broader Iberian cuisine to your kitchen. Whether you’re exploring rustic tapas, bold seafood stews, or sweet regional pastries, we aim to provide content that is not only mouthwatering and reliable but also rooted in cultural authenticity. Here’s how we ensure everything you read on our site is crafted with care and culinary respect.


Our Content Creation Process

We embrace modern tools to enhance our workflow, including AI-based outlining and limited food visual generation to help spark inspiration. But every article, recipe description, and cultural deep dive is written by real people—experienced food writers, home cooks, and passionate Iberian food enthusiasts who know the cuisine intimately.

Before publishing, every piece undergoes a detailed editorial review to ensure it aligns with our tone, values, and factual accuracy. We check for clarity, consistency, and cultural context, so you always know you’re getting content you can trust.

Photos and recipe visuals may be lightly enhanced for clarity or lighting, but they always reflect real, achievable results you can replicate in your own kitchen.


Recipe Accuracy and Testing

Authenticity matters. That’s why every recipe featured on Iberianeats.com is thoroughly reviewed and, when possible, tested by our team or trusted contributors. We strive to ensure that each dish is flavorful, approachable, and representative of its regional origins.

If we say a recipe captures the essence of Basque pintxos, Galician octopus, or Algarve cataplana, it’s because we’ve carefully verified the techniques and ingredients to match the spirit of the dish. Still, we recognize that no recipe is perfect for everyone—so we always welcome your feedback and are committed to correcting or refining our content based on your input.


Sourcing, Inspiration, and Attribution

Iberian cuisine is rich with history and shared tradition. Occasionally, we draw inspiration from reputable cookbooks, food blogs, or chefs we admire—especially when it helps us bring a classic or regional variation to a wider audience.

When we do, we make sure to:

  • Clearly credit the original creator or source
  • Adapt the recipe using our own testing and voice to ensure it reflects the Iberianeats standard
  • Offer suggestions or modifications that suit modern home kitchens while honoring the essence of the dish

We believe food is meant to be shared, and we’re proud to contribute to the global appreciation of Iberian cooking through responsible, well-crafted content.

If you ever spot an issue or have suggestions, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re always listening—and always hungry to improve.
