We keep a running ledger of the season.
Promoterio started as a shared notebook of what to cook while a specific fruit or vegetable was actually good — and it's stayed that way. Every recipe on this site is dated to a real window on the calendar.
Cook what's in front of you, not what's on sale in a magazine.
Most recipe sites publish year-round, which means a pumpkin recipe sits on the homepage in July next to a watermelon salad. We do the opposite: recipes are written for a real harvest window or a specific festival date, and we retire them from the front page once that window closes.
That means less scrolling past things you can't actually buy this week, and a grocery list that tracks what's cheapest and freshest at the market rather than what's been trucked in from somewhere out of season.
A short list of house rules
Every recipe carries a date
A harvest window, a festival, or both — if we can't tie a dish to a real moment on the calendar, it doesn't get published.
Tested with grocery-store ingredients
No specialty-shop rarities. If a recipe calls for it, it should be findable at a regular supermarket or a Saturday farmers market.
Photographs, not renders
Every image on Promoterio is a real photograph of real food. Nothing on this site is AI-generated or animated.
Full recipes, no detours
Ingredients, exact steps, prep and cook times, and make-ahead notes — on the recipe page, in that order, every time.
