The Real Talk About What This Site Is (And Isn’t)
Look, I love sharing recipes and cooking tips with you. But I need to be crystal clear about what I can and can’t promise, both for legal reasons and because I genuinely care about your safety and wellbeing.
General Information Purpose
Everything on NessyRecipes.com is for informational and entertainment purposes only.
This means:
- I’m sharing what works in MY kitchen, with MY equipment, with MY ingredients
- Your results may be completely different
- I’m not providing professional advice in ANY capacity
- This isn’t a substitute for professional consultation
What this site IS:
- A home cook sharing tested recipes and personal experience
- Comfort food ideas and cooking inspiration
- My genuine recommendations based on what I actually use and love
- A community space for recipe discussions
What this site is NOT:
- Professional nutritional, medical, or dietary advice
- A replacement for your doctor, dietitian, or allergist
- A guarantee that any recipe will work perfectly for you
- Professional culinary instruction or certification
Food & Recipe-Specific Disclaimers
Not a nutritionist or dietitian:
I have ZERO professional nutrition credentials. I’m a home cook who loves comfort food. Any nutritional information provided is:
- Estimated using online calculators
- Based on specific brands I used
- Potentially inaccurate or incomplete
- NOT a substitute for professional dietary advice
If you have dietary restrictions or health conditions:
- Consult your healthcare provider or registered dietitian
- Verify all ingredients yourself for allergens
- Don’t rely on my word alone for health claims
- Use your own judgment about what’s safe for you
Food allergies – THIS IS CRITICAL:
I cook in a home kitchen where:
- Multiple allergens are present (dairy, nuts, gluten, eggs, etc.)
- Cross-contamination is possible
- I cannot guarantee allergen-free recipes
If you have food allergies:
- Read every ingredient label yourself
- Verify all products are safe for your specific allergies
- Understand cross-contamination risks
- Consult your allergist before trying new foods
- NEVER rely solely on my assessment of what’s “safe”
I cannot and will not:
- Guarantee any recipe is safe for your allergies
- Be held responsible for allergic reactions
- Make medical claims about ingredients
- Provide advice about managing allergies
Food safety warnings:
Cooking involves inherent risks:
- Burns and cuts – Use caution with hot surfaces, sharp knives, boiling liquids
- Foodborne illness – Follow safe food handling practices, cook to proper temperatures
- Fire hazards – Never leave cooking unattended, know how to use your equipment
- Equipment dangers – Read appliance manuals, use appropriate tools
I’m not responsible for:
- Injuries sustained while following my recipes
- Foodborne illnesses from improper handling or storage
- Kitchen accidents or equipment malfunctions
- Property damage related to cooking
Cook safely:
- Follow USDA food safety guidelines
- Use a meat thermometer for proteins
- Wash hands and surfaces frequently
- Refrigerate perishables within 2 hours
- When in doubt, throw it out
No Professional Relationship Created
Reading this blog does NOT create a professional relationship between us.
Specifically:
- No chef-client relationship
- No nutritionist-client relationship
- No advisor-advisee relationship
- No professional duty of care
Our relationship is:
- Casual and informal
- Based on shared interest in comfort food
- Without professional obligations on my part
- At-will and can be ended by either of us anytime
If you need professional help:
- Nutrition/diet concerns → Registered dietitian
- Medical issues → Your doctor or healthcare provider
- Food allergies → Board-certified allergist
- Eating disorders → Licensed mental health professional
- Professional cooking → Culinary school or certified chef
Results Not Guaranteed
I test every recipe multiple times, but I CANNOT guarantee:
- You’ll get the same results I did
- The recipe will turn out perfectly
- You’ll like the taste or texture
- It will work with substitutions
- It will be safe for your specific dietary needs
Variables that affect results:
- Ingredients – Brand, quality, freshness vary widely
- Equipment – Every oven, pan, and stovetop is different
- Technique – Skill levels and experience differ
- Environment – Altitude, humidity, temperature affect cooking
- Personal taste – What I find delicious, you might not
If a recipe doesn’t work:
- Check you followed instructions accurately
- Consider ingredient or equipment differences
- Adjust for your kitchen’s specific quirks
- Email me for troubleshooting (I genuinely want to help)
- Accept that sometimes recipes just fail (even for me)
I’m not liable for:
- Recipes that don’t turn out as expected
- Wasted ingredients or time
- Disappointment or frustration
- Special occasions ruined by recipe failures
- Any damages related to cooking attempts
Affiliate & Advertising Disclaimers
Financial relationships affect my recommendations – here’s how:
Affiliate commissions:
I earn small commissions when you purchase through some links. This:
- Doesn’t cost you anything extra
- Helps keep this site running and free
- DOES influence which products I choose to link to
- Does NOT change my honest opinions
I only recommend:
- Products I actually own and use
- Brands I genuinely like
- Items I’d suggest even without affiliate programs
I won’t recommend:
- Products I haven’t tried personally
- Items I don’t believe are good quality
- Anything just because the commission is higher
Sponsored content:
Occasionally brands pay me to feature their products. When they do:
- It’s ALWAYS disclosed at the top of the post
- I still maintain editorial control
- I only partner with brands I genuinely like
- My opinions remain honest
But understand:
- Financial incentives do create bias (I’m human)
- I may feature sponsored products more than others
- I can’t be 100% objective when money’s involved
- You should do your own research before buying anything
