You may read, print and cook from our recipes for your own household. Please do not republish our recipes, text or layouts elsewhere, or copy the site in bulk.

Accounts

You must be 13 or older to create an account. You are responsible for activity on your account and for keeping access to your email secure.

Photos, notes and ratings you share

You keep ownership of what you share. By sharing it, you allow us to display it on the site, resize it and show it alongside the recipe, for as long as it stays published. You can delete it at any time.

What you share must follow the community guidelines. We may hide or remove anything that does not.

Cooking, allergens and food safety

Recipes, nutrition estimates and allergen labels are provided for general information. They are not medical or dietary advice. Always check ingredient labels, cook to safe internal temperatures, and follow your own medical guidance. How we identify allergens.

No warranty

The site is provided as is. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for losses arising from your use of the site or its recipes.

Open-source software

When you share a photo in HEIC format (the usual format on iPhones), your browser converts it with heic-to, which is built on libheif. Both are free software, licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License, version 3. We use them unmodified, as a separate file that loads only for HEIC photos. Their complete source code is available at the links above.

Changes

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version; continuing to use the site after a change means you accept it.
