• Set preferences: Spice level, kid-friendly, low-budget, high-protein, or low-sodium.

While generating a recipe

• Ask for units & conversions: Request metric/US measures and °C/°F conversions.
• Use flavor paths: Try “make it herby/smoky/umami” or switch cuisines (Mediterranean, Mexican, East Asian).
• Swap smartly: Say “no dairy—suggest substitutes” or “replace chicken with tofu.”
• Scale & batch: Ask to double servings and include fridge/freezer storage + reheating notes.
• Nutrition cues: Request approximate macros per serving to guide choices.
• Safety prompts: Ask for doneness checks and safe internal temperatures for meats.

Limitations & Disclaimers

• AI-generated guidance, not professional advice: Recipes and nutrition facts are suggestions only. For medical, dietary, or allergy-specific needs, consult a qualified professional.
• Nutrition is approximate: Calorie/macronutrient estimates are rough and can vary with brands, cooking methods, and portion sizes.
• Allergens & intolerances: Always read product labels and verify cross-contamination risks. When in doubt, choose certified products or safer substitutes.
• Food safety first: Follow local food-safety guidelines, use a reliable thermometer for doneness, cool and refrigerate leftovers promptly, and reheat thoroughly.
• Dietary certifications: “Halal,” “kosher,” or similar tags are best-effort suggestions—verify certifications and ingredients for your standards.
• Equipment & oven variance: Times and temperatures can differ by appliance model; adjust as needed and monitor doneness cues.
• Regional availability & cost: Ingredient names and availability vary by country; request local equivalents or substitutions.
• For children, pregnancy, or specific conditions: Extra caution is advised; avoid high-risk foods per your healthcare provider’s guidance.

Privacy & Data Handling

• No sign-up required to try it: You can use the Free Plan without creating an account. Upgrade only if you need higher daily limits.
• Keep prompts non-sensitive: Don’t enter personal identifiers (full name, address, phone, email), payment details, or protected health information (PHI). For allergies or dietary needs, describe them generically (e.g., “nut-free,” “lactose-free”) without personal medical history.
• Minimal input, better privacy: Share only what’s needed to generate a recipe—ingredients, time, tools, and diet rules. Avoid uploading private files or images with personal data.
• How your input is used: Your prompts are processed to generate responses for your session. Content may be reviewed in aggregate to maintain quality and prevent abuse. We don’t claim medical or nutritional authority.
• Data retention & deletion: If you’re concerned about retention, avoid sharing sensitive data and clear your chat content after use. For formal removal requests or details, refer to our site’s privacy policy once available.
• Third-party services: The service may rely on AI infrastructure providers to process your prompts. We aim to limit data to what’s necessary to operate and improve the tool.
• Children & sensitive use: This tool is not directed to children under 13. For pregnancy, medical conditions, or severe allergies, consult a qualified professional before relying on AI-generated guidance.
