We're hiring! Are you our next food writer?

It's sad times at Sluttery HQ. The wonderful Alex has gone and got her knocked up and is due to be having a baby very soon. That's not the sad bit (we're actually really excited about the first Sluttery baby, we're going to be the coolest aunties). It does mean that she's not going to be writing any more and we need to find ourselves a new food writer.

They're big shoes to fill. See for yourself.

We're looking for someone who knows their arse from their artichokes. Someone who can wow our readers with recipes that they want to make immediately. We also want them to go a little bit further and surprise our readers with unusual foodie finds. You'll need to be able to take a decent photo of your grub (you don't need to be a professional, but an iPhone pic before you have your dinner isn't going to cut it) and we definitely want you to have food writing and blogging experience. We won't be budged on that.

We do pay our writers (although not nearly enough, it will keep you in gin and maybe even get you a treat in a shoe sale) and the perks include press trips across the country and sometimes even over to Europe. Loads of foodie samples and treats as well. Loads. One day it'll be gin, another it'll be chocolate. And who knows, you might even get to contribute to a book or two. There are loads of exciting projects happening this year and while you certainly don't have to be based in London to join the team we'd love to have more writers around the country (UK only, sorry overseas folk), if would be great to see you at the occasional event.

Want to be part of the team? Email us with a little bit more about yourself and your food, give us more details about your writing experience and then tell us three things that you'd cook for us: something sweet, something savoury and something out of the ordinary.

Since Alex is due fairly soon, we need to get a wriggle on and find someone sharpish. You've got less than a week to get your applications to us. Email us by 6pm on Sunday 12th February. We won't be able to contact everyone but if you're shortlisted, you'll hear back from us early next week.

Good luck, everyone!
