Call for All Food Enthusiasts
At Umbrella Splash Magazine, we celebrate cooking not just as a skill but as an art form that nourishes the body and soul. We’re on a mission to share recipes, stories, and perspectives that inspire, educate, and bring people together. Whether you’re a seasoned chef or a passionate home cook, we want to hear from you!
Food is more than sustenance—it’s a mirror of how we live, work, connect, and evolve. We’re seeking compelling stories that use food as a gateway to explore broader aspects of culture and lifestyle, including pop culture, the internet, health, work, relationships, identity, money, and more. Through Umbrella Splash Magazine, we aim to dive deep into these intersections with fresh perspectives and vibrant narratives.
Our content spans everything from ingredient spotlights and cooking hacks (like poaching chicken breasts to perfection) to tips for sustainable habits like washing dishes without wasting gallons of water. Each story we publish strives to leave you with a clear and actionable takeaway—whether it’s how to pit peaches with pliers, why olive brine is liquid gold, or the trick to perfectly caramelized onions.
🍴 Food Experiences
We love narratives that use food as a lens to explore broader topics like pop culture, health, work, identity, relationships, money, or the internet. What does your relationship with a family recipe say about your roots? How does the rise of food influencers shape the way we dine? If food is the gateway, we want to dive deeper into the story it opens.
🍴 Local Stories with Universal Appeal
Have a tale rooted in a specific place, tradition, or community? We’re drawn to stories that highlight the unique while offering resonance for readers everywhere. Perhaps it’s the legacy of a family-owned bakery or a small-town food festival with a surprising twist.
🍴 Humor & Levity
Whether your story is laugh out loud funny or just peppered with moments of humor, we welcome content that’s as delightful as it is thought-provoking. Food is serious business, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun with it!
