Should you subscribe?

Volume is manageable. Our panel receives ~2 issues a week once subscribed โ€” steady, not a bombardment.

How easy it is to leave

Measured from the unsubscribe route in the mail itself, not from what happens after you use it. Every The Amateur Gourmet message our panel received was checked.

An unsubscribe link in every email

Every message carries an unsubscribe link, though leaving means opening their website rather than one click in your mail app. Across the 8 emails the panel has received.

Get the writing, skip the pitches

Subscribe with your Siftbox address: the issues arrive untouched, while promos, course launches, and survey requests are held for whenever you feel like looking.

How we know this

Siftbox operates its own panel of subscriber inboxes that sign up for newsletters the same way any reader would. Every issue received is analyzed and checked against what the publication actually sends over time. No individual inbox is ever exposed โ€” data comes from Siftbox's own panel of subscriber inboxes, including mail archives contributed by the founders, blended with anonymized aggregates from Siftbox traffic once many subscribers have received the same campaign. Figures refresh as new email arrives and the site is rebuilt.
