Write the stories behind the food.
The cooks, the recipes, the tables and the cities. Our writers tell them on the Hi-Eat blog, with a studio built for food stories, an editor in your corner and a room full of other writers.
Everything you need to write, edit and publish.
One studio for the whole story, from the first line to the moment it goes live, and people to talk to along the way.
The story studio
Cover photo, headings, photos at three widths, videos, quotes, lists, note boxes and feature panels. Bold, italic and links in a click.
Autosave and preview
Your work saves itself as you type. Preview shows the story exactly as readers will see it on the blog.
Publish when it’s ready
Publish it yourself, or send it to the editor for a read first. Take it down, change it and put it back up whenever you need to.
The Writers’ room
A group chat for every Hi-Eat writer and editor. Pitch ideas, share leads, ask for a second pair of eyes.
Notes with the editor
Each story has its own private thread with the editors, right beside the draft. Feedback stays with the story it’s about.
Email when you’re away
Someone messages the room or leaves a note on your story while you’re not around? We email you, with a link straight back.
From pitch to published in three steps.

Know a story worth telling?
We’re looking for people who love food and the people who cook it. You don’t need to be a professional writer.
- Profiles of Hi-Eat cooks and the dishes they grew up with
- Recipes with a story, and food from around the world
- Guides to eating well in your city
- Events, supper clubs and the tables that bring people together
Good to know
Do I need a password?
No. Enter the email address your editor added, and we email you a six-digit code. Type it in and you’re in the studio.
Who can see my drafts?
Only you and the Hi-Eat editors. Nothing appears on the blog until you publish it.
Can I change a story after it’s published?
Yes. Open it in the studio, make your change and save. It updates on the blog straight away. You can also take a story down and put it back later.
How do I talk to the editors?
Two ways: the Writers’ room, a group chat for all writers and editors, and the notes on each story, a private thread just for that piece.
Can I use my phone?
Yes. In the Hi-Eat app, open Home and tap Writer’s desk. You’ll find your stories, the Writers’ room and your notes. You can write and post short stories there too.
Will I get emails?
Only when it matters: a message in the room or a note on your story while you’re away. Never more than one every half hour.
