Important Information About Recipe Prepared
While I love sharing recipes and cooking tips, there are a few important things you should know about using the content on Recipe Prepared. This disclaimer helps protect both of us and ensures you have the best possible experience in the kitchen.
Recipe Results and Success
Every Kitchen Is Different
Even though I test every recipe multiple times in my own kitchen, your results might vary. Differences in ingredients, equipment, altitude, humidity, and cooking experience can all affect how a recipe turns out.
Ingredient Variations
Flour brands behave differently. Oven temperatures vary. Tomatoes in January taste different than August tomatoes. These variables can impact your cooking results, and I can’t control for every possible difference.
Skill Level Considerations
When I call something “easy,” I mean it’s straightforward for someone comfortable with basic cooking techniques. If you’re new to cooking, don’t hesitate to research unfamiliar techniques or ask questions.
Food Safety and Dietary Information
Food Safety Is Your Responsibility
While I follow safe cooking practices in my recipes, food safety ultimately depends on how you handle, prepare, and store ingredients in your kitchen. Always follow proper food safety guidelines for handling raw meat, dairy products, and other perishables.
Dietary and Allergy Information
Recipe nutritional information and dietary labels (like “gluten-free” or “dairy-free”) are provided as guidance only. I’m not a nutritionist or medical professional. If you have food allergies, dietary restrictions, or health conditions, always verify ingredients and consult with qualified professionals.
Cross-Contamination Concerns
My kitchen is not allergen-free. If you have severe allergies, please take appropriate precautions and consider the risk of cross-contamination in ingredient sourcing and preparation.
Recipe Sources and Attribution
Recipe Origins
I collect recipes from many sources including family traditions, online communities, cookbooks, restaurants, and personal experimentation. While I strive to provide proper attribution when known, some recipes have been passed down through so many hands that original sources are unclear.
Recipe Modifications
Most recipes on Recipe Prepared include my own modifications, testing notes, or improvements. The version you see here may differ from the original source, and I take responsibility for any changes I’ve made.
Your Recipe Contributions
When you share recipes with me, you confirm that you have the right to share them and give permission for me to feature them on Recipe Prepared with appropriate credit.
Equipment and Product Recommendations
No Guarantees on Recommendations
When I recommend kitchen equipment, ingredients, or products, these are based on my personal experience and preferences. I can’t guarantee these items will work the same way in your kitchen or meet your specific needs.
Affiliate Relationships
If I include affiliate links in the future, I’ll clearly disclose these relationships. Any recommendations are based on genuine experience, not just potential earnings.
Equipment Safety
Always follow manufacturer instructions for any kitchen equipment. I’m not responsible for misuse of equipment or tools mentioned in recipes or recommendations.
