A shared understanding for using this site.

The service

The site publishes plant-forward recipes, journal articles, a kitchen glossary, and related educational material for home cooks. It is an informational website. It does not offer public visitor accounts, payment processing, or individualized nutrition services.

Informational content

The recipes, articles, nutrition estimates, and other material on this site are provided for general educational and informational purposes only. They are not a substitute for professional medical, nutrition, or dietary advice.

Use of the site

You may browse, save, and make personal use of the published material. You may not reproduce a substantial portion of the site, represent the content as your own, interfere with site operation, or use automated means to extract content without prior permission.

The site’s text, recipes, photographs, and design are owned by the operator or used with permission. Recipe names, article text, and original vocabulary on this site stay with the site except for the personal use described above.

Recipe responsibility

Cooking involves ordinary risks, including potential allergies, cross-contamination, food-borne illness, and injury from kitchen equipment. You are responsible for reviewing ingredients, following safe food handling practices, and adapting recipes to your individual dietary needs.

Amazon affiliate links

Some pages link to Amazon through the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. If you buy through those links, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Product availability and prices are set by Amazon, not by this site.

Prohibited uses

You agree not to use the site for an unlawful purpose, interfere with its operation, attempt to gain unauthorized access, scrape or copy the service in bulk, or submit unlawful, infringing, or abusive material through the contact or suggestion forms.

Disclaimers

The site is provided as is and as available, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Recipes and nutrition figures are estimates and general education. They are not a promise of any health result.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the operator is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the site, including cooking outcomes, allergic reactions, or reliance on nutritional estimates. Our total liability for a claim relating to the site will not exceed the amount you paid us to use the site in the twelve months before the claim, or one hundred U.S. dollars if you paid nothing.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the operator and its members, officers, and agents from claims, damages, and reasonable expenses arising out of your use of the site, your submissions, or your violation of these terms or of any third-party right.

Governing law, venue, and arbitration

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Venue for any court proceeding that is permitted under these terms lies exclusively in the state or federal courts located in California.

Before starting a formal dispute, you agree to contact us through the contact page and allow 30 days for an informal resolution. If that fails, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of these terms or the site shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall take place in California or by videoconference. The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

You and the site agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action. If this class waiver is found unenforceable, the arbitration provision is void and the dispute shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in California. You may opt out of arbitration by sending a notice through the contact page within 30 days of first using the site, stating that you opt out of arbitration.

Changes

We may update content, features, or these terms as the site evolves. The effective date and last updated date shown on this page will change when we do. Continued use after an update means you accept the current version of these terms.
