Disclaimer – Cooknado.com
Last Updated: September 13, 2025
I want to be completely transparent about what I can and cannot provide through this blog. My goal is to help you cook better, but there are important limitations to keep in mind.
General Information Purpose
Everything on Cooknado.com – recipes, cooking tips, nutrition information, product recommendations – is provided for educational and informational purposes only. I’m sharing what I’ve learned through my culinary training and experience, but I’m not providing professional dietary, medical, or nutritional advice.
Think of me as your enthusiastic friend who happens to know a lot about cooking, not as a replacement for qualified professionals in health, nutrition, or medicine.
Food and Cooking-Specific Disclaimers
Food Safety: I follow current FDA food safety guidelines in my recipes and recommendations, but food safety ultimately depends on your ingredients, kitchen conditions, and preparation methods. Always use fresh ingredients, maintain proper temperatures, and follow basic food safety practices. When in doubt, don’t risk it.
Allergies and Dietary Restrictions: I try to note common allergens and provide substitution suggestions, but I cannot guarantee that any recipe is safe for specific allergies or dietary restrictions. Always read ingredient labels carefully and consult with healthcare providers about dietary limitations. Cross-contamination can occur in any kitchen.
Nutritional Information: Nutritional data is calculated using standard databases and should be considered approximate. Actual nutrition content can vary significantly based on specific ingredients, brands, preparation methods, and portion sizes. This information is not intended for medical dietary planning.
Special Diets: When I provide recipes for specific dietary needs (gluten-free, keto, vegetarian, etc.), I’m sharing what has worked in my testing, not providing medical dietary advice. Always verify that ingredients and methods align with your specific health requirements.
No Professional Relationship
Using this website, following my recipes, or communicating with me does not create a professional chef-client, nutritionist-client, or healthcare provider-patient relationship. I’m not a registered dietitian, medical doctor, or licensed nutritionist.
If you have specific health conditions, food allergies, or dietary requirements, please consult with qualified healthcare professionals before making significant dietary changes.
Results Not Guaranteed
I test every recipe multiple times and provide detailed instructions, but cooking results can vary based on many factors including:
- Oven and equipment differences
- Ingredient variations and freshness
- Local altitude and climate
- Individual skill levels and techniques
- Personal taste preferences
I can’t guarantee that every recipe will work perfectly in every kitchen or satisfy every palate. If something doesn’t turn out right, please reach out – I’m happy to help troubleshoot!
Equipment and Product Recommendations
When I recommend kitchen equipment, ingredients, or products, these are based on my personal experience and testing. Results may vary based on your specific needs, budget, and preferences. I don’t receive compensation for most recommendations, but when I do (through affiliate links), I clearly disclose this.
Always use kitchen equipment according to manufacturer instructions and safety guidelines.
External Links Policy
I sometimes link to other websites for ingredients, equipment, or additional information. These links are provided for convenience only. I don’t control the content on external sites and am not responsible for their accuracy, safety, or policies.
Always use your own judgment when visiting external websites or purchasing products from other companies.
Content Accuracy and Updates
I work hard to provide accurate information and regularly update content based on new information, reader feedback, and changes in food safety guidelines. However, information can become outdated, and errors can occur.
If you notice incorrect information or have safety concerns about any content, please contact me immediately at james@cooknado.com so I can investigate and make corrections.
Personal Stories and Experiences
I share personal stories, experiences, and opinions throughout the blog to illustrate cooking concepts and connect with readers. These are my individual experiences and may not be representative of what others might experience. Your results, preferences, and experiences may be completely different.

I’d rather have you ask questions than make assumptions. When it comes to food safety or dietary concerns, it’s always better to err on the side of caution and reach out for clarification.
Remember: I’m here to help you cook better and have fun in the kitchen, but you’re ultimately responsible for your own safety and dietary choices. Cook smart, stay safe, and don’t hesitate to reach out when you need help!
