Earnings Disclaimer

Last Updated: June 14, 2021

Affiliate Relationships

The Original Recipe (theoriginalrecipe.com) participates in various affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn a commission when you click on certain links on our site and make a purchase, at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate Programs We Participate In:

  • Amazon Associates Program
  • ShareASale
  • Other affiliate networks and individual brand partnerships

When we link to products, recipe tools, ingredients, or cookbooks, these may be affiliate links. If you purchase through these links, we receive a small commission that helps support our work.

Our Commitment to You

We only recommend products, tools, and resources that:

  • We have personally researched or used
  • We genuinely believe would be helpful to our readers
  • Align with our standards for quality and value

Our affiliate relationships do NOT influence our recipe comparisons or recommendations. We analyze recipes based solely on their merits – techniques, ingredients, and results. We do not receive compensation from recipe bloggers or food websites for featuring or recommending their recipes.

No Guaranteed Results

The recipe recommendations and cooking advice on this site are based on our analysis and personal opinions. While we strive for accuracy and thoroughly research every comparison:

  • We cannot guarantee specific cooking results
  • Individual results may vary based on ingredients, equipment, skill level, and technique
  • You are responsible for following safe food handling practices
  • Recipe success depends on many factors outside our control

Not Professional Advice

The content on The Original Recipe is for informational and entertainment purposes only. We are not professional chefs, nutritionists, or food safety experts. Our recommendations are based on home cooking experience and recipe analysis.

  • Always follow safe food handling practices
  • Consult food safety guidelines when cooking, especially with meat, eggs, and dairy
  • If you have dietary restrictions or food allergies, verify ingredient safety yourself
  • We are not liable for any adverse reactions, food safety issues, or cooking failures

Product Recommendations

When we recommend kitchen tools, equipment, or ingredients:

  • Prices and availability may change
  • We are not responsible for product quality, safety, or performance
  • Always read product reviews and descriptions before purchasing
  • We do not warrant or guarantee any third-party products

Third-Party Recipes

We provide links to recipes from other food bloggers and websites for comparison purposes. We are not responsible for:

  • The accuracy or safety of third-party recipes
  • Changes made to recipes after we analyze them
  • The content or practices of external websites
  • Any issues arising from following external recipes

Income Disclosure

The income we earn from affiliate commissions and advertising varies and is not guaranteed. The amounts earned depend on many factors including:

  • Traffic to our site
  • Conversion rates
  • Advertiser demand
  • Seasonal variations
  • Market conditions

Do not expect to earn similar income. Creating a successful food blog requires significant time, effort, skill, and often financial investment with no guarantee of profit.

Your Responsibility

By using this website, you agree that:

  • You are responsible for your own cooking results
  • You will verify recipe safety and ingredient suitability for your needs
  • You understand that we may earn commissions from links you click
  • You will not hold us liable for any damages, losses, or issues arising from use of our content
