The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.

First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The "help" feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.

Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.

The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:

Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.

Nutritional and Allergy Information

This website does not purport to have any formal dietitian or nutritional training. Any indication of nutritional information or suitability for those with specific dietary requirements given in a post should be taken as guidance only.

Allergy Information

Basic information is given for each recipe in relation to whether it is gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free or nut-free. Suggestions may also be provided for how a recipe may be adapted to exclude each of these allergens. This information is provided for guidance only and should not be relied upon.

Furthermore, a comprehensive list of allergens is not provided for each recipe and the exclusion of reference to a particular allergen does not preclude its inclusion in the recipe. In particular, ingredients can differ from shop to shop, region to region and country to country and each ingredient should always be checked on an individual basis.

Nutritional Information

Nutritional information is provided for each recipe underneath the main recipe card. The information provided is for guidance only. The nutritional make up of ingredients may differ from product to product, brand to brand and country to country. The exact quantities of each ingredient will likely vary due to human variance. No reliance on the information provided should therefore be made.

In addition, none of the advice given on this website is to be considered as medical advice. Please do not make any changes to your lifestyle or diet without discussing it with your doctor.

This Website cannot accept any liability for any food or physical safety issues arising from advice given. This includes, but is not limited to; any illness, disease or death incurred following preparation or consumption of any recipes or feasts, any physical injuries incurred during the planning, preparation or consumption of the recipes or feasts and any issues arising at an event or feast.
