Disclaimer

Last Updated:

Hey there! Before we dive into cooking together, please take a moment to read this important disclaimer. By using victoriarecipes.com, you’re agreeing to these terms – think of it as our kitchen ground rules.

General Information & Recipe Results

The recipes, tips, and kitchen stories I share here come from my personal cooking journey and family traditions. While I test every recipe multiple times in my own kitchen, cooking is wonderfully unpredictable! Your results may vary based on:

  • Different oven temperatures and cooking equipment
  • Ingredient variations (brands, freshness, measurements)
  • Altitude, humidity, and local conditions
  • Personal cooking experience and techniques

I do my best to provide accurate information, but I can’t guarantee that every recipe will turn out perfectly in every kitchen. That’s part of the cooking adventure!

Not Professional Advice

I’m a passionate home cook who loves sharing family recipes and kitchen discoveries – but I’m not a registered dietitian, certified chef, or healthcare provider. Everything I share is based on personal experience and research, not professional training.

Please remember:

  • Nutritional information is estimated and may not be completely accurate
  • Always consult healthcare professionals for medical dietary needs
  • Food allergies and sensitivities require your own careful ingredient checking
  • When in doubt about food safety, trust your instincts and professional guidelines

Kitchen & Food Safety

Cooking involves real risks, and you’re the captain of your own kitchen! Please:

  • Follow proper food safety: Wash hands, cook to safe temperatures, store properly
  • Handle equipment safely: Read appliance manuals, use proper techniques
  • Check for allergies: I try to note common allergens, but ingredient labels change
  • Trust your senses: If something looks, smells, or tastes off, don’t risk it
  • Adapt for your needs: Modify recipes for dietary restrictions carefully

I’m not responsible for any kitchen mishaps, foodborne illness, or adverse reactions that might occur. Your safety is in your hands!

Nutritional Information & Dietary Claims

When I share nutritional data or mention that a recipe is “low-calorie,” “keto-friendly,” or fits other dietary patterns, these are estimates based on the ingredients and portions I used. Your actual nutritional values may differ.

Important notes:

  • Nutrition calculations use standard databases that may not reflect your exact ingredients
  • “Healthier” versions are compared to traditional recipes, not absolute health claims
  • Always verify nutrition information if you have specific dietary requirements
  • Consult professionals for medical dietary needs

Some links on this site earn me a small commission if you make a purchase (at no extra cost to you). These affiliate earnings help keep the site running and the recipes coming!

My promise: I only recommend products I actually use and believe in. Whether it’s a kitchen tool I can’t live without or an ingredient that makes a recipe special, my suggestions are genuine. However, you should always research products yourself and read reviews before purchasing.

Comments & User Content

I love hearing from fellow cooks! However, any advice, modifications, or experiences shared in comments come from other readers, not me. While I try to monitor discussions, I can’t verify the accuracy or safety of reader suggestions.

Sometimes I’ll link to other helpful sites, stores, or resources. I’m not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or any issues you might encounter on those sites.

Recipe Attribution & Cultural Respect

Many of my recipes are inspired by family traditions, cultural dishes, or other cooks. I try to give credit where it’s due and approach cultural recipes with respect. If you feel I’ve misrepresented a tradition or recipe origin, please reach out – I’m always learning!

Website Changes

I may update recipes, nutritional information, or this disclaimer as I learn and grow. The “Last Updated” date at the top will reflect any changes.
