The Publication

Foundation Notes.

Tarino Gazette is an independent editorial publication based in London. It concerns itself with a single broad subject: the everyday relationship between food, mood, and habit — approached without directive, without urgency, and without the register of optimisation culture.

01 — Why This Publication

The gap between knowing and doing, in the context of food

Tarino Gazette began from an observation: there is no shortage of information about what to eat. Books, platforms, practitioners, and podcasts all offer detailed guidance on nutrition, composition, timing, and quantity. And yet the experience of most people with food remains shaped not by this abundance of information, but by habit, emotion, environment, and routine.

The publication was founded to address the space between the information and the experience. Not with more prescriptions about what to eat, but with careful, considered writing about how people actually relate to food — about emotional eating, eating triggers, boredom eating, the food and mood connection, and the quieter patterns of daily eating life that rarely receive sustained editorial attention.

Tarino Gazette is an independent editorial publication focused on everyday wellness practices. The publication is not affiliated with any commercial, governmental, or institutional body. It is funded entirely by reader engagement and editorial partnerships with organisations whose values align with independent, evidence-informed writing.

02 — Editorial Values

I.

Evidence-informed, not prescriptive

Every piece of writing published in Tarino Gazette is grounded in published research, where that research exists. Where it does not, the writing draws on observation and experience rather than claim. The publication does not make prescriptions about what readers should do. It offers information and perspective, and leaves the choices to the reader.

II.

No urgency, no optimisation

The register of Tarino Gazette is deliberately unhurried. The publication does not use the vocabulary of performance, transformation, or quick improvement. These registers, while commercially effective, tend to produce anxiety rather than clarity. A slower, more considered register allows readers to engage with the subject matter without feeling judged or pressured.

III.

Corrections and transparency

When Tarino Gazette publishes something that turns out to be inaccurate or misleading, we note the correction publicly in the article itself, with a date. Writers are required to disclose any commercial relationships that might influence their selection of subject matter. The publication's editorial standards are published in full at methodology.php.

03 — The Editorial Team

Eleanor Whitfield

Founding Editor

Eleanor Whitfield established Tarino Gazette in 2024 following a decade of writing for national and independent publications on the subjects of food culture, eating behaviour, and everyday wellbeing. Her approach to the subject is characterised by a preference for observation over instruction, and a consistent resistance to the optimisation register that dominates much wellness publishing.

Tobias Marsden

Contributing Writer

Tobias Marsden has contributed to Tarino Gazette since its first year of publication. His writing covers the intersection of habit, environment, and eating behaviour, with particular attention to the role of attention and pace in shaping how people experience food. He also writes on the subject of food journalling as a practice of self-observation.

Harriet Carrington

Editorial Researcher

Harriet Carrington is the publication's editorial researcher, responsible for sourcing and verifying the published research that underpins Tarino Gazette's fact-checked content. Her background is in behavioural science, and she brings a rigorously evidence-informed approach to the editorial process without allowing it to crowd out the human dimension of the subjects being covered.

Jasper Holloway

Section Editor

Jasper Holloway edits the publication's long-form section, working with contributors from initial pitch through final draft. He is particularly interested in the editorial challenge of writing about emotional eating and stress and food in a register that is neither alarmist nor dismissive — that takes the subject seriously without generating the anxiety it purports to address.
