Disclaimer

We hope you enjoy your visit to the site and will come back often. We add new recipes every day.

Just a few notes about our practices and policies....

We ask that all submitted recipes are recipes that our readers have tried and tested themselves.

However, typos happen! We try very hard to make sure that all recipes are 100% accurate but can bear no responsibility for errors.

From time to time, our readers submit recipes which are not original to them, but are taken from books or some other source. If the submitter has given us the details, then these are published along with the recipe. If a reader submits a recipe to us without details of its source, we assume that recipe to be that reader's original recipe or an adaptation of an existing recipe. However, if you see a recipe that you believe  should not be included here, please email us and we will see that it is removed.

Please note that the products shown in the store are links to various merchants which we recommend. We do not sell goods and any queries regarding your order or purchase should be made to the retailer and not to this site.
