welcome to Joy to the food

We are Dan and Mika, the creators behind Joy to the Food. We strive to bring joy to the kitchen through delicious high-protein recipes without protein powder. We believe that more protein equals more fun!

When we work with brands, we want to ensure we provide the same level of knowledge and information as we would on our own site. Whether that be short-form video content, infographics, or a blog post, we make sure our deliverables are, above all else, useful and fun!

Blog Post

Blog posts are at the core of what we do. They live on a site forever and, over time, can be featured on news or entertainment sites, gain virality, or show up in top search results. All our blog posts are thoroughly researched to ensure the post shows up in the top 5 results of Google and, therefore, generate maximum traffic. We offer sponsored posts that can be placed on your site or ours. They include beautiful imagery, full recipes (if applicable), and personal notes on recipes or ingredients to ensure readers have all the knowledge needed to make a recipe successfully. We specialize in recipe posts and how-to posts.

Recipe Development

Recipe development is why we started this website. We love to take well-known recipes and make them fun, exciting, and accessible. When we produce recipes for brands, our number one goal is to specifically highlight your product, showing that only your product will produce the absolute best results.

Food & Product Photography and Videography

Image and video are everything in the food world. We eat with our eyes first. This is why we want to make sure we provide our clients with beautiful images and engaging videos that can stand the test of time. These can be for ad campaigns, social media, or website product sales. Whatever your goals are, we will make sure the graphics get you there!

We can do static posts, infographics, Google Web Stories, Pinterest Idea Pins, Instagram Reels or Stories, Facebook Reels, Youtube Shorts, and much more!
