A Note from My Kitchen: Our Gentle Disclaimer

Just as every re-bound journal carries its own unique history and sometimes a few charming imperfections, the recipes and information shared on Stained Pages and Slow-Simmered Stories come with a gentle understanding. While I put my heart into every dish and every word, a kitchen, much like a bindery, is a place of individual experience.

Nutritional Tidbits: A Guiding Hand, Not a Strict Ruler

Any nutritional information provided (if present) is offered as a general guide, much like an old map pointing to a general direction. It’s based on estimates and standard databases. Please remember that actual values can vary greatly depending on specific ingredients, preparation methods, and even the ripeness of a backyard tomato. If you have specific dietary needs or health concerns, I always recommend consulting with a qualified health professional. They’re the experts who can truly tailor advice to your unique story.

Recipe Results: Embrace the Journey

Every kitchen has its own alchemy, and every cook brings their own touch. My aim is to provide clear, tried-and-true recipes that have brought joy to my table. However, factors like oven calibration, ingredient freshness, and even the weather can influence the final outcome. Don’t be disheartened if your first attempt isn’t exactly like the photographs. Cooking, like binding a book, is a skill that grows with practice and patience. Embrace the process, learn from each attempt, and let your own kitchen magic shine through.

Allergens and Sensitivities: Know Your Ingredients

The recipes shared here may contain common allergens such as gluten, dairy, nuts, eggs, and soy. While I strive to note primary allergens when significant, it’s impossible to list every potential cross-contamination risk or unique sensitivity. Please review all ingredients carefully and understand your own dietary requirements before preparing any dish. Your well-being is paramount, and just as I check the integrity of old paper, please ensure you check the integrity of your ingredients for your own safety.
