Our editorial approach

The Real Recipe publishes practical cooking content for home kitchens. Our goal is to make ingredients, methods and substitutions easy to understand.

Recipe guidance

Recipes include quantities, steps and estimated times. Cooking times depend on your equipment, ingredient sizes and starting temperatures. Use the doneness cues in each recipe as well as the clock.

Accuracy and corrections

We review content for clarity and consistency. If we discover a material error, we update the relevant recipe. Please send corrections through our Contact page, including the recipe URL and the detail in question.

Testing and attribution

We do not describe a recipe as kitchen-tested unless that testing has actually been completed and recorded. The Real Recipe Kitchen is our editorial byline, not a professional credential.

Nutrition and dietary labels

Any nutrition figures provided are estimates unless a source and method are stated. Brands, portions and substitutions change the result. Check packaging for allergens and dietary suitability.

Commercial content

Any sponsored content or affiliate relationship will be identified where it appears. Recipe recommendations should remain understandable without buying a particular brand.
