Become a Volunteer Writer for Eat with Phindile

Are you a graduate who wants writing experience you can actually use on a CV or portfolio? Eat With Phindile is inviting volunteer contributors to write recipes, food articles, and simple cooking content for the blog.

This is a peer collaboration, not a job. I’m also a graduate building experience, so we grow together.

What You’ll Do

You can choose one or more writing styles:

Recipe posts – from your own kitchen, family meals, or budget-friendly ideas
Short food articles – food tips, kitchen basics, food hacks
Personal food stories – how you learned to cook, family food memories, etc.

No formal writing or journalism background is required.

Every published piece will include your full byline (your name + optional short bio + social media handle).

What You’ll Get

Your name and social media handle featured on every post you write
A permanent live link you can use on your CV, portfolio, or LinkedIn
Written feedback to help you improve each piece before it goes live
Experience writing for a real blog, not just academic assignments

Important

This is an unpaid volunteer opportunity.

It is best suited for graduates who want:

Published writing samples
Something credible to list under “Experience” on a CV
A place to practice writing publicly with visible credit

If you are looking for paid writing work, please do not apply.

Time Commitment

Flexible and self-paced
One piece at a time, with agreed deadlines
No required weekly hours unless you request ongoing work
