Disclaimer
Last updated: June 18, 2026
Hi there! I’m Thea, the home cook and storyteller behind Root Recipes. I’m so glad you’re here, and I want you to feel right at home as you browse, cook, and connect. Before you dive into the recipes and kitchen inspiration, please take a moment to read this Disclaimer. It’s here to help you understand what you can expect from Root Recipes and how to use the site safely and happily.
Just a Home Cook Sharing What I Love
Everything you find on rootrecipes.online comes from my own kitchen and experience as a home cook. I’m not a professional chef, nutritionist, or medical expert—just someone who loves food, family, and sharing what I learn along the way. The recipes, stories, and tips here are meant to inspire you, not to serve as professional advice of any kind.
For Inspiration, Not Instruction
Root Recipes is all about sparking creativity and joy in your kitchen. Every recipe, tip, or story is shared in good faith, based on what works for me and my family. Cooking is a personal journey, and what works in my kitchen might need a tweak or two in yours. Please use your own judgment, taste, and experience as you try out recipes or ideas from this site.
Food Allergies, Dietary Needs, and Ingredient Safety
I do my best to share clear ingredient lists and instructions, but I can’t know your unique dietary needs, allergies, or sensitivities. Always double-check ingredients and labels, especially if you or someone you’re cooking for has a food allergy or special dietary requirement. If you’re ever unsure about an ingredient or method, please consult a trusted medical or nutrition professional before trying a recipe.
Safe food handling is important. Please follow standard kitchen safety practices—wash your hands, cook foods to safe temperatures, and keep your kitchen clean. If you have questions about food safety, the USDA and FDA have great resources.
No Professional Advice—Culinary, Medical, or Otherwise
Nothing on Root Recipes should be taken as professional advice—culinary, medical, nutritional, or otherwise. I’m here to share what I love, not to diagnose, treat, or advise on health or nutrition matters. If you need expert help, please reach out to a qualified professional who knows your needs.
Accuracy and Updates
I work hard to make sure every recipe and post is accurate, clear, and up to date. But cooking is an art, not a science, and things can change. Oven temperatures, ingredient brands, and personal tastes all vary. If you spot a typo, an unclear step, or something that doesn’t seem right, please let me know at [email protected] or through my contact page. I appreciate your feedback and will do my best to fix any mistakes quickly.
Results May Vary
Every cook, kitchen, and ingredient is different. I can’t guarantee that your results will look or taste exactly like mine, and that’s part of the fun! Please feel free to adapt recipes to suit your tastes, dietary needs, or what you have on hand. If something doesn’t turn out as expected, don’t be discouraged—cooking is all about learning and experimenting.
Newsletter and Email Content
If you sign up for my newsletter, you’ll get recipes, stories, and updates from me, Thea. I do my best to make sure everything I send is helpful, accurate, and inspiring. But again, I can’t guarantee results or outcomes from any recipe or tip I share by email. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter anytime—just click the link at the bottom of any email or let me know directly.
No Affiliate Links or Ads
Root Recipes is a simple, ad-free space. There are no affiliate links or display ads on this site. I don’t make money from recommending products or linking to other sites. If that ever changes, I’ll update this page and let you know right away. Your experience here is all about the recipes and stories—nothing else.
External Links
Sometimes I link to other websites, blogs, or resources I love—maybe a favorite cookbook, a helpful kitchen tool, or another food blog. These links are just for your convenience and inspiration. I’m not responsible for the content, recipes, or advice on those sites. Please check their policies and use your own judgment when visiting other sites. Once you leave Root Recipes, their rules apply, not mine.
Comments and Community
I love hearing from you in the comments! Please remember that comments reflect the views of the person who posted them, not necessarily mine. I do my best to keep the community friendly and respectful, but I can’t review every comment right away. If you see something that doesn’t belong, let me know at [email protected] or through my contact page.
Limitation of Liability
By using Root Recipes, you agree that I’m not responsible for any damages, injuries, or losses that may result from following a recipe, using information from the site, or interacting with other users. Please cook safely, use your best judgment, and consult a professional if you have questions or concerns. Root Recipes is provided “as is,” and I can’t guarantee that the site will always be error-free or available.

I never sell your information, and I only collect what’s needed to run the site and send you the newsletter if you sign up. For more details, please read my Privacy Policy. If you want to know what information I have about you, or if you want me to delete it, just email me at [email protected] or use the contact page. I’ll respond as soon as possible.
