Terms & Disclaimer
How you may use the recipes, and the limits of what we promise.
These terms apply when you use The Food Gene. Nothing in them limits any rights you have by law.
Using the recipes
The recipes and words on The Food Gene are our own work. Some photographs are stock images used under licence and are credited where shown; the rest are our own. Cook from the recipes, adapt them and share links to them as much as you like. Please do not copy whole recipes, photographs or articles onto another website, app or publication; a link back is always welcome.
Nutrition information
Where a recipe shows nutrition values, they are approximate values per serving (or per item, for a recipe that makes a number of things), estimated and entered by our editor. They are not calculated by this website and have not been tested in a laboratory. Real values change with the brands and sizes of the ingredients you use, how you cook, and how you divide the dish. Changing the number of servings on a recipe does not change the values per serving.
Not health or dietary advice
The Food Gene makes no health claims. Nothing on the site is medical, dietary or nutritional advice, and no recipe is said to prevent, treat or cure anything. If you have a medical condition, or follow a special diet for your health, ask a doctor or a registered dietitian.
Allergies and dietary labels
Labels such as Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten-free and Dairy-free describe a recipe as it is written. Ingredients vary between brands and can change, so check the label of everything you use, especially when you cook for someone with an allergy or intolerance.
Cooking safely
Ovens, hobs, ingredients and kitchens differ, so times and temperatures are a guide. Make sure meat, fish, eggs and leftovers are cooked or reheated thoroughly, and take care with knives, hot oil and hot equipment.
Mistakes
We correct mistakes when we find them, but we cannot promise that every page is free of them. If something in a recipe looks wrong, please email hello@thefoodgene.com.
Limits of our responsibility
We provide the site free of charge and do our best to keep it accurate, but we are not responsible for any loss or harm that comes from using it, except where the law does not allow us to limit this.
Other websites and videos
We link to other websites when we think they are useful, but we are not responsible for what they contain. Videos play from YouTube or Vimeo, whose own terms apply to their players.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the site changes. The date at the top shows when they were last updated.
