Quick summary (plain English)

  • Use the site for personal use; don’t scrape or republish our content commercially.
  • We run ads and affiliate links to support the site.
  • Nutrition content is not medical advice (see the Disclaimer).
  • If you misuse the site (bots/invalid traffic, scraping), we may block access.

If you’re here to read, cook, and use the site normally, these Terms shouldn’t feel complicated. The main thing we ask is: don’t copy/repost our work at scale or use bots.

If anything in this “Quick summary” conflicts with the Terms below, the Terms below control.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim related to the Site will not exceed the amount you paid us (if any) in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.
