Quick summary (plain English)

  • Our content is educational, not medical advice.
  • Cooking and food choices involve risk — use your judgment and follow official safety guidance.
  • Nutrition facts are estimates and can vary.
  • If you have a medical condition or allergies, follow your clinician’s guidance.

1) Not medical or professional advice

The content on this Site is for informational and educational purposes only. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Reading the Site, subscribing to emails, or communicating with us does not create a doctor–patient, dietitian–client, or other professional relationship.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, we are not licensed medical providers or registered dietitians. Do not use this Site as a substitute for professional care.

Always seek the advice of a qualified health professional with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition, allergies, or dietary needs.

Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on this Site.

If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your local emergency number immediately (for example, 911 in the US).

If the Site discusses general wellness topics, ingredient benefits, or nutrition concepts, those statements are for general informational purposes only and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

2) Nutrition information is estimates only

If we provide nutrition information (for example, calories, macros, sodium, fiber), it is provided as an estimate only. Nutrition values can vary for many reasons, including:

  • ingredient brands and formulations
  • produce ripeness and natural variation
  • measurement differences (packed vs. leveled, scale vs. cups)
  • substitutions and optional ingredients
  • cooking methods and cook time

Do not rely on nutrition information from this Site for medical decisions, dosing (including insulin), or treatment.

Any nutrition calculator/database used is a third-party tool and may contain errors. You are responsible for verifying nutrition information using the specific products and quantities you use.

Nutrition information on this Site is not a substitute for a nutrition label for retail sale, and it may not follow the same rounding or formatting rules used on packaged foods.

3) Food safety and cooking risks

Cooking and food preparation involve risks, including burns, cuts, and foodborne illness.

  • Cook to temperature, not time. Cooking times are estimates. Use a calibrated food thermometer and follow current food safety guidance (for example, USDA safe minimum internal temperatures).
  • Avoid cross-contamination. Wash hands, surfaces, and tools; separate raw meat/seafood from ready-to-eat foods.
  • Storage matters. Cool, refrigerate, and reheat foods safely. We are not responsible for illness caused by improper storage or reheating.

You assume all risks associated with preparing and consuming recipes or tips from this Site.

3.1) Recipe testing and real-world variation

Our goal is to publish recipes that are tested by a human cook, but cooking outcomes can still vary based on ingredients, equipment, altitude, and skill level. Use your judgment and prioritize safety.

4) Raw or undercooked foods

Consuming raw or undercooked meat, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness. Use appropriate precautions and follow official safety guidance.

If you are pregnant, immunocompromised, elderly, or have a medical condition that increases risk, take extra precautions and consider safer alternatives (for example, using pasteurized eggs in recipes that call for runny or lightly cooked eggs).

5) Allergens and dietary needs

We cannot guarantee that any recipe is allergen-free or suitable for your specific needs.

  • Shared kitchen note: Our recipes are developed in a private home kitchen that may handle common allergens, including wheat/gluten, eggs, dairy, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, and sesame. Cross-contact is always possible.
  • Ingredients and manufacturers can change formulations without notice.
  • Cross-contamination can occur in factories, shipping, stores, or your kitchen.
  • Substitutions can introduce allergens or change nutrition values.

You are responsible for reading labels, verifying ingredients, and making safe choices for your situation.

6) Canning and food preservation (if applicable)

Home canning and preservation can be dangerous if done incorrectly and can lead to serious illness (including botulism).

If we publish canning/preservation content, it may not be lab-tested. Follow current, authoritative guidance (for example, USDA or your local extension office) for safe recipes, acidity, processing times, and equipment.

7) No guarantees of results

Results vary from person to person. We do not guarantee any specific results from using this Site or following any recipe or nutrition-related information (for example, weight loss, improved energy, or health outcomes).

We also do not guarantee that your cooking results will match photos or descriptions, because outcomes depend on many factors (including your ingredients, equipment, skill level, and kitchen conditions).

8) Affiliate links, ads, and sponsored content

The Site may contain advertisements (for example, via Mediavine) and affiliate links (including Amazon Associates). If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Some content may also include paid promotions, gifted products, or other “material connections.” We disclose these clearly where they apply.

9) AI and content tools

We may use tools (including AI tools) to help draft, edit, summarize, or organize content. These tools can make mistakes. We review content before publishing, but you should still use your own judgment and verify important details (especially food safety and health-related information).

The Site may link to third-party websites or include embedded content. We do not control third parties and are not responsible for their content, policies, or practices.
