Our Mission
At SavorySecretsRecipes.com, we publish practical, trustworthy, and inspiring food content recipes, tips, and guides that help real people cook better every day. Quality, clarity, and usefulness come first.
Human-First, Always
We believe in human creativity: ideas, testing, tasting, and judgment from real people. Every article is owned by a human writer or editor and reflects our voice, experience, and standards. AI can speed things up; it does not replace human taste, ethics, or accountability.
How We Use AI (LLMs)
We use Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance our work responsibly and within the law. Industry-wide, many teams use similar tools (even if they don’t say so); we choose to be transparent.
LLMs may assist us with:
- Brainstorming angles and headline variations
- Structuring outlines and improving clarity
- Draft acceleration (first passes for sections, never the final word)
- Summarizing source notes for editors
- Generating alternative phrasing to reduce repetition
- Creating metadata (titles, meta descriptions) and schema scaffolds
- Quality checks (readability, consistency, broken-link checks via tooling)
What LLMs do not do here:
- They do not publish themselves.
- They do not replace testing, tasting, and human judgment.
- They do not make final calls on safety, allergens, or time/temperature.
- They do not override our sourcing rules or ethics.
Why this helps you
- Speed & freshness: We update content faster.
- Clarity: Cleaner structure, fewer ambiguities.
- Coverage: More variations, substitutions, and tips explored.
- Consistency: Style and formatting stay uniform across the site.
- Accessibility: Simpler explanations for complex steps.
Human Review & Accountability
Every published piece is reviewed by an editor. For recipes, we aim to test in-house or rely on clearly stated testing notes. We verify key facts (ingredients, methods, times) and ensure claims are supported by credible sources. Final responsibility rests with our editorial team.
Sourcing & Citations
- We attribute when ideas, data, or techniques originate elsewhere.
- We prefer primary sources (original cookbooks, chefs, culinary schools, standards organizations).
- We avoid unverifiable claims and fad “hacks” without evidence.
Accuracy, Safety & Nutrition
- Cooking times and yields can vary; ovens and ingredients differ. Use your judgment.
- Nutritional information is estimated and informational only not individualized advice.
- Allergen and dietary notes are provided in good faith; always check labels and cross-contamination risks.
- When handling raw foods, follow safe temperatures and hygiene practices.
Voice & Style
- Friendly, direct, and practical.
- Plain language first; no unnecessary jargon.
- Steps are scannable, with tips and make-ahead notes where helpful.
Photos & Visuals
- We prioritize original or licensed photography.
- If we use AI-assisted visuals, we label them when material to your understanding (e.g., concept diagrams).
- No deceptive retouching that misrepresents results.
Cultural Respect
Recipes carry culture. We strive to credit origins, name dishes correctly, and avoid careless substitutions that erase identity. Adaptations are labeled as such.
Legal & Ethical Standards
- Copyright: We respect intellectual property and licenses.
- Privacy: We process contact data solely to respond or deliver subscriptions, per our Privacy Policy.
- Disclosures: Sponsored content and affiliate links are clearly labeled; editorial independence is maintained.
- AI Use: Our use of LLMs follows applicable laws and platform terms; we keep human oversight throughout.
Corrections & Updates
We correct errors promptly and note significant changes. See something off? Tell us and include the page URL and what needs fixing.
User Contributions
Comments and submissions must be respectful and lawful. By posting, you grant us permission to display your content. We may moderate for clarity, safety, and tone.
Transparency Statement on AI
AI is a tool like a spell-checker or a camera powerful in capable hands. We use it to add value, not to cut corners. If a piece relied materially on AI (beyond routine editing aids), our editors still own the result and are accountable for accuracy and ethics.
