Legal
Terms of use
By using this site you accept the terms below. They are meant to be readable.
Using the recipes
Cook them, adapt them, cook them for other people, print them for your own kitchen, and link to them freely. None of that needs permission.
What is not permitted is republishing recipe text, method steps or photographs elsewhere, in whole or in substantial part, whether or not this site is credited — including reposting them into another website, an app, or a printed collection for sale. Quoting a line or two with a link back is fine.
Content ownership
The text and photographs on this site are its own work and remain its property. Recipes as lists of ingredients are not themselves copyrightable; the written method, the notes and the images are.
Accuracy, and the limits of it
Recipes are tested before publication and corrections are made when errors are reported. Even so, ovens, hobs, pans and ingredients vary, and a timing that is right in one kitchen can be wrong in another. Use the doneness cues alongside the times, and use your judgement.
Nutrition figures are calculated estimates, not laboratory measurements, and should not be relied on for medical or clinical purposes.
Food safety and allergies
You are responsible for safe food handling in your own kitchen — cooking temperatures, storage, reheating and cross-contamination. If you have an allergy or a medical dietary requirement, check ingredients and labels yourself. Nothing on this site is medical or dietary advice, and it is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional.
Liability
This site is provided as it is, without warranty. To the extent the law allows, it is not liable for loss or damage arising from use of the recipes or the site. Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud, where the law does not permit that limit.
External links
Where this site links to another, that site's content is its own responsibility, not ours.
Changes
These terms may be updated; the date at the top will change when they are. Questions go to hello@yourmidnightdesk.com.
