Editorial Guidelines

1. Research & Sourcing

We research traditional recipes from authentic sources, including cultural cookbooks, family traditions, and regional culinary experts. We prioritize recipes with historical and cultural significance while ensuring they're practical for modern home kitchens.

2. Recipe Testing

Every recipe undergoes thorough testing before publication:

• Recipes are prepared at least once in a standard home kitchen
• Ingredient measurements are verified for accuracy
• Cooking times and temperatures are tested and confirmed
• Alternative ingredients and substitutions are evaluated when applicable
• Final results are photographed and documented

3. Content Creation

Our recipe content includes:

• Clear, step-by-step written instructions
• Accurate ingredient lists with precise measurements
• Preparation and cooking time estimates
• Nutritional information when available
• High-quality photographs of the finished dish
• Video tutorials demonstrating key techniques

4. Review & Verification

Before publication, each recipe is reviewed for technical accuracy, clarity of instructions, and cultural authenticity. We verify that all information is complete, accurate, and presented in a user-friendly format.

Accuracy

All recipe information—including ingredients, measurements, cooking times, and techniques—must be accurate and verified through testing. We correct errors promptly when identified.

Clarity

Instructions are written in clear, concise language that's easy to follow. We avoid jargon and explain specialized techniques when necessary. Our goal is to make every recipe accessible to cooks of all skill levels.

Authenticity

We respect the cultural origins of recipes and strive to present them authentically. When adaptations are made for ingredient availability or modern cooking methods, we clearly note these modifications.

Transparency

We are transparent about recipe sources, testing processes, and any limitations or variations. If a recipe hasn't been personally tested, we clearly disclose this information.

Safety

Food safety is paramount. We include appropriate warnings for allergens, raw ingredients, and safe food handling practices. Cooking temperatures and storage guidelines follow established food safety standards.

Photography

Recipe photographs accurately represent the finished dish. Images are well-lit, properly composed, and show the food in an appetizing, realistic manner. We do not use misleading or heavily edited images.

Video Content

Video tutorials demonstrate key cooking techniques and provide visual guidance for recipe preparation. Videos are clear, well-paced, and include relevant details that complement written instructions.
