Our Editorial Policy
The Kitchen Recipes is a home-cooking website. Every recipe on this site is written for real weeknight cooking: clear steps, everyday ingredients, and honest notes on what works and what does not.
How Our Recipes Are Written
Each recipe starts from a dish we want to cook at home, not from a keyword list. We write the ingredient list in US measurements, give oven temperatures in Fahrenheit, and state prep and cook times in plain minutes and hours. Where a recipe depends on a technique, such as searing, resting meat, or bringing a sauce together, we explain the step in the method itself instead of leaving it as a guess.
We include substitutions only where they genuinely work in the dish, for example swapping one cheese for another with a similar melt, or using dried herbs where fresh ones are hard to find. We do not list a substitution we have no reason to believe works.
What We Do Not Do
We do not copy recipes from other websites. We do not publish a recipe we have not cooked through in our own kitchen in some form, and we do not present stock photos as our own cooking. Where a photo is an illustration rather than a photo of the finished dish, we say so. We do not invent reviews, ratings, or reader stories.
Corrections
If a reader finds a mistake in an ingredient amount, a temperature, or a cooking time, we want to know. Use the Contact Us page to tell us what is wrong and we will check the recipe and correct it. Corrections are made to the recipe itself, with no silent edits to the comments that pointed them out.
Comments
Comments are open on our recipes. We read them, and questions about a recipe get an answer when we can give one. Comments that are spam, abusive, or unrelated to cooking are removed.
Advertising and Affiliate Links
The Kitchen Recipes does not currently participate in any affiliate program and does not earn a commission from links on this site. If that changes, this page and our Affiliate Disclosure page will be updated before any affiliate link is published. We do not accept payment for featuring a recipe or a product.
