A Few Honest Words About My Kitchen

My kitchen is a place for comfort, not a clinical lab. While I pour care into every recipe and piece of advice shared here, it’s important to remember a few things before you start stirring and simmering.

Nutritional Tidbits: More Art Than Exact Science

Any nutritional information provided with my recipes is an estimate. It’s calculated using online tools and should be taken as a general guide, not a medical prescription. The actual values can change based on the specific brands of ingredients you use, how you prepare them, and even the size of your cutting board. Think of it like a knitting pattern: the suggested yarn might be a guide, but your tension and needle size will make a difference.

Recipes: Your Results May Vary (That’s the Fun!)

I test my recipes thoroughly in my own simple studio kitchen, but everyone’s oven is different, everyone’s stove has its quirks, and even the humidity in your home can affect a rising dough. Your results might look a little different from my photos, and that’s perfectly okay! Cooking is an art, not a factory line. Embrace the imperfections and adjust to your own tastes and equipment.

Allergens & Dietary Needs: Know Your Own Yarn

I often cook with common ingredients, but I can’t know every visitor’s dietary restrictions or allergies. Please always read through ingredient lists carefully and use your best judgment. If you have severe allergies or specific dietary needs, always consult with a healthcare professional before trying new recipes. I can’t guarantee allergen-free cooking environment. It’s like knowing which fibers you can wear against your skin; you know what works for you.

Always Use Your Best Judgment

Ultimately, the responsibility for how you use the information on this site rests with you. Cook safely, adjust to your needs, and most importantly, enjoy the process of making good food for yourself and those you love.
