I love hearing from readers, but due to the volume of requests I receive, it’s unfortunately not possible to reply to everyone! Please take a look at my FAQs before contacting me, as you might just find your answer here…
Can you recommend a restaurant in Amsterdam?
If you’re looking for restaurant recommendations, grab a copy of my Amsterdam Restaurant Guide. If what you drink is as important as what you eat, you might also like my Amsterdam Wine Lover’s Guide. Alternatively, you can browse all my recent Amsterdam-related articles here. I don’t have any other “secret” recommendations that I haven’t shared with my readers, so you’ll find everything that’s in my brain on this website (but better organised!).
How about restaurant recommendations in other destinations?
I’ve written a series of culinary travel guides to cities all over Europe, the US and further afield. You can find these under the foodie travels section of this website.
How can I buy your guidebooks and cookbook?
All my books are available via the web shop on this site. Vicky Hampton’s Working Lunch is a handy, compact lunch cookbook that’s available in both hardback printed and e-book formats. My Amsterdam Restaurant Guide offers 70 pages of restaurant recommendations – from traditional Dutch cuisine to Indonesian and Surinamese food – as well as Amsterdam’s best cafés, markets and food shops. And My Amsterdam Wine Lover’s Guide features tips on the city’s best wine bars, boutique wine shops, wine festivals and tasting experiences. You can also buy my restaurant and wine guides in a bundle for a 10% saving.
Do you accept guest posts, sponsored features, brand mentions or partner content?
I offer sponsored features only in cases where the topic is genuinely relevant to my readers and aligns with Amsterdam Foodie’s editorial focus: food, wine and travel. All partner content is clearly labelled as such, in line with EU regulations. Contextual brand mentions may be added to existing, editorially relevant articles where they add value to readers. Take a look at my partnership page for further information, guidelines and pricing.
Do you accept press invitations from restaurants?
Sometimes, is the honest answer. I prefer to visit restaurants anonymously, but the past few years have seen soaring inflation and (for me, thanks to AI) plummeting income. I therefore do accept some press invitations in order to keep the content on this website and in my guidebooks as up-to-date as possible. Due to limited capacity, I only attend a small number of press visits each month, and I prioritise concepts that closely align with my editorial focus. When I have been hosted/invited, I include clear transparency disclosures across all media (website, guidebook, socials). All opinions are my own.
Do you work with affiliate programmes?
I have a partnership with Skimlinks, whereby I may receive a small commission for some of the links that feature in articles on this website. However, I don’t manage individual affiliate relationships separately from Skimlinks – nor do affiliate links influence my editorial decisions.
Is the Amsterdam Foodie on social media?
Yes – these days, that’s mostly Instagram. For all the latest restaurant recommendations, foodie events, articles, projects and related news, follow @amsterdamfoodie. For wine reviews, wine bars and wine tasting events, follow @trufflesandtannins.
Do you write product reviews?
Not on this website. However, I do feature wine reviews on my wine-focused Substack: The Wine Edit, and on my wine-led Instagram channel @trufflesandtannins.
Do you offer other freelance food/writing services?
Yes – I’m a professional copywriter, editor, translator (Dutch to English), and marketing/communications consultant. Of course, I specialise in food and wine, but my work covers a range of other topics, from finance and sustainability to tech and construction. Take a look at my portfolio site, VickyHampton.com, for information and contact details.
