Editorial Policy

OUR RECIPE STANDARDS

We want RecipesCooker to be easy to use in a real kitchen. This policy explains the editorial principles we use for recipe writing, visual content, corrections, and commercial disclosures.

Recipe selection and development

We organize recipes around practical cooking needs. We aim for ingredient lists that match the directions, useful yields, and cooking methods appropriate to the dish. Recipes may be adapted from broadly established cooking techniques or newly assembled for editorial use. We do not claim that every published recipe has been cooked or tested in a physical kitchen.

Before publishing or revising an article, we aim to review the ingredient quantities, temperature units, timing, equipment, order of steps, substitutions, storage guidance, and compatibility between the recipe card and the written article.

How we describe testing

A recipe may include a written method and an illustrative image without having been independently test-cooked by RecipesCooker. We do not state that a recipe is “tested,” “perfected,” or based on personal experience without evidence of that work. Readers should treat timing and yields as estimates that can vary with equipment and ingredients.

Photography and AI-generated visuals

Images may be supplied by licensed sources or produced with digital tools, including AI image generation. An image is intended to illustrate a dish or technique, not certify a kitchen test or exact cooked result. When practical, the photographed or illustrated ingredients should reflect the recipe’s actual contents. We avoid presenting imagined step-by-step photographs as records of a real preparation.

Food safety and dietary accuracy

Where food safety is relevant, we aim to align instructions with established official advice. Use a food thermometer and check current FoodSafety.gov minimum internal temperatures. Readers should verify packaged-ingredient labels for allergens and dietary restrictions. Nutrition values, if offered, are estimates unless otherwise stated and should not be treated as individualized medical advice.

Search and structured data

We write descriptive titles and useful headings so visitors can understand recipes quickly. Structured Recipe data should correspond to visible ingredients, instructions, yields, and preparation times. We do not fabricate star ratings, reviewer counts, nutritional values, or testing credentials. We may use automated tools to assist with draft preparation, proofreading, image creation, and formatting, but useful and accurate content remains the editorial goal.

Advertising and affiliate relationships

The website may display advertising or links to third-party stores. If an article includes an affiliate relationship or sponsored placement, it should be disclosed clearly where relevant. Advertising relationships should not dictate inaccurate cooking instructions or fabricated claims.

Corrections and updates

We may correct ingredient measurements, clarify steps, update links, replace misleading images, or improve food safety information. The page modification date may change when substantive edits occur. If you find an error, contact us with the recipe URL and a description of the issue. We assess reports individually and do not promise every requested change will be made.

Community feedback

Reader comments can be useful, but individual comments represent those contributors’ experiences and are not automatically verified. We may moderate spam, unsafe recommendations, hateful material, or personal data. See our Terms of Use for comment rules.
