A Note from My Kitchen: What You Should Know

Just like every piece of pottery emerges with its own unique character from the kiln, my recipes are crafted with care and intention, but individual results can, and often do, vary. Please read through these important notes before you start your own kitchen creations.

Nutritional Tidbits

Any nutritional information provided on this site is an estimate. It’s calculated using online tools and should not be considered professional dietary advice. Think of it as a general guide, much like the suggested firing temperature for a new clay body – a good starting point, but always subject to your own ingredients and methods. For precise dietary needs, please consult a qualified nutritionist or healthcare provider. Your health is like the structural integrity of a ceramic piece; it’s paramount.

Expect the Unexpected (Sometimes)

I share recipes that have worked beautifully in my small city kitchen. However, differences in ingredients, oven calibration, humidity, and even how vigorously you whisk can impact the final outcome. Your experience might vary, and that’s perfectly normal. Don’t be discouraged if a dish doesn’t look exactly like the photograph on your first try – it’s part of the process, much like refining a new glazing technique. Embrace the journey and the learning curves.

Allergy Awareness

My recipes may contain common allergens such as nuts, dairy, gluten, soy, and eggs. While I always try to be clear about ingredients, I cannot guarantee that cross-contamination will not occur, especially in a home kitchen environment. If you have severe allergies, please exercise extreme caution and consult with a medical professional before trying any recipe. Understanding potential allergens is as crucial as knowing which glazes are food-safe; safety always comes first.

Your Kitchen, Your Responsibility

By using the recipes and information on this site, you acknowledge that you are responsible for your own safety and the safety of those you cook for. Please use good judgment, follow safe food handling practices, and always ensure your ingredients are fresh and suitable for consumption.
