This page states plainly what Gather Dinners is, what it is not, and what you should check for yourself. It is worth the two minutes.
The recipes are information, not instruction from a professional
Everything published here is for general informational purposes. Recipes on this site are researched and written from established cooking technique and from the sources that describe a dish best. We do not claim that each recipe has been cooked, tested or photographed in our own kitchen, and you will not find that claim anywhere on this site. Results depend on your oven, your pan, the size and moisture of your ingredients, your altitude and your judgement, and they will vary.
Food safety is yours to manage
Cooking involves heat, sharp tools and raw ingredients that can carry harmful bacteria. You are responsible for handling food safely in your own kitchen: keeping raw meat, poultry, seafood and eggs separate from ready-to-eat food, refrigerating promptly, and cooking to a safe internal temperature measured with a thermometer rather than estimated from a cooking time. Where a recipe gives a time, treat it as a guide and the temperature as the rule. If you are unsure, follow the current guidance from your national food safety authority; in the United States that is the USDA and the FDA.
Allergies, intolerances and dietary labels
Ingredient lists and any dietary description on this site, such as vegetarian, dairy-free or gluten-free, are given in good faith and are not a guarantee. Brands reformulate, products are made on shared equipment, and cross-contamination happens in ordinary kitchens. If you or anyone you are cooking for has an allergy or intolerance, read the label on every product you use, every time. Do not rely on a label on this site.
Nutrition information
Where nutritional values appear, they are an estimate produced by calculation from generic ingredient data, not a laboratory analysis. They will not match your dish exactly, because brands, cuts, fat content, portion size and what you did differently all move the numbers. They are offered as a rough orientation and nothing more.
No medical, nutritional or health advice
Nothing on this site is medical or nutritional advice, and nothing here is intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition. If you have a health condition, are pregnant, are managing a special diet, or are cooking for someone in any of those situations, speak to a qualified professional who knows the circumstances. Never delay or disregard professional advice because of something you read here.
Advertising, affiliate links and sponsorship
Gather Dinners is free to read and is funded by advertising. Some pages contain affiliate links, which means that if you click through and buy something, this site may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Any sponsored or paid content is identified as such on the page where it appears.
Commercial relationships do not decide what gets published and do not change how a product is described. An affiliate link exists because the product suits the recipe, not the other way round, and we do not accept payment to alter the substance of a page. This disclosure is made in line with the United States Federal Trade Commission guidance on endorsements and testimonials, 16 CFR Part 255.
External links
Links to other sites are offered because they are useful. We do not control them and we are not responsible for their content, their accuracy or their privacy practices. Following one is at your own risk.
Images
Photographs illustrate the finished dish so you have a target to aim at. They are not presented as documentation of a particular test batch. Where an image is licensed from a third party, its use is governed by that licence; if you believe an image here infringes your rights, tell us through the contact form and it will be reviewed promptly.
Accuracy and corrections
We work to keep pages accurate and we correct them when they are not. Even so, errors get through: a quantity that cannot be right, a step in the wrong order, a temperature that contradicts the method. If you find one, use the contact form and say which line. Corrections are made on the page itself. We make no warranty, express or implied, as to completeness, accuracy or fitness for a particular purpose.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Gather Dinners accepts no liability for any loss, injury or damage arising from your use of this site or from reliance on anything published here, including any adverse reaction to a dish, any illness arising from food handling, or any unsuccessful result. By using this site you accept that you cook at your own risk. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
