Editorial Policy

Last updated: July 25, 2026

Simple To Make Recipes publishes practical recipe content and cooking guides for everyday home cooks. This policy explains how the SimpleToMakeRecipes Editorial Team approaches authorship, accuracy, testing, images, sources, corrections, and commercial relationships.

Our Mission

Our goal is to make recipes easier to understand through clear ingredient lists, realistic instructions, useful substitutions, storage guidance, and relevant food-safety information.

Authorship and Editorial Review

Content is published by the SimpleToMakeRecipes Editorial Team. We do not present an invented person as the author or claim personal experiences that did not occur.

Before publication, articles are reviewed for clarity, ingredient consistency, realistic timing, alignment between the written instructions and recipe card, relevant safety information, and unsupported claims.

Recipe Development and Testing Claims

Recipes and cooking articles are developed with attention to ingredient ratios, cooking methods, equipment, timing, serving yield, and common reader questions. Results may vary based on brands, equipment, substitutions, altitude, oven calibration, measurements, and cooking technique.

We only describe a recipe as personally tested when documented test notes are available. We avoid unsupported claims such as “foolproof,” “perfect,” “family tested,” or statements implying that a team member cooked or served a dish when that experience has not been documented.

Use of AI-Assisted Tools

Digital and AI-assisted tools may support research organization, drafting, editing, formatting, or image planning. These tools do not replace editorial review, reliable source checking, documented recipe notes, or human responsibility for the published content.

We review AI-assisted material for factual consistency, repetitive language, fabricated experiences, misleading certainty, and conflicts between ingredients, instructions, timing, yield, and recipe schema.

Images and Copyright

Images may include original photography, properly licensed media, or AI-generated illustrations. Illustrative images are not presented as proof that a recipe was physically prepared or tested.

We do not knowingly republish third-party photographs from Pinterest, social media, or other websites without permission or an appropriate license. When external media is embedded, it is used according to the platform’s available embedding tools and does not imply ownership.

Food Safety and Nutrition

When relevant, we include guidance for handling, cooking, storing, and reheating ingredients such as poultry, meat, seafood, eggs, cooked rice, and other perishable foods. Readers should follow current local food-safety guidance and use appropriate kitchen judgment.

Nutrition information, when provided, is an estimate. Dietary labels are general food descriptions and are not medical advice. Readers with allergies, medical conditions, or strict dietary requirements should verify ingredients and consult a qualified professional when appropriate.

Sources, Links, and Commercial Relationships

We may link to reliable external sources for food-safety information, ingredient guidance, product details, or further reading. External links do not transfer responsibility for third-party content to Simple To Make Recipes.

The site may use advertising or affiliate links. Affiliate relationships do not change our editorial standards. When a purchase through a link may generate a commission, the reader should not pay an additional cost because of that relationship.

Updates and Corrections

We may update existing articles to improve accuracy, clarity, formatting, safety guidance, recipe schema, internal links, or usefulness. We preserve an article’s established URL whenever practical.

If you notice an error, conflicting instruction, missing disclosure, or unclear safety information, please use our Contact page. Useful corrections are reviewed and incorporated when appropriate.
