2 AI-Generated Content — Important Disclosure

You must be aware of the following important limitations of AI-generated content before relying on anything you read on this Website:

2.1 Accuracy and Reliability

• The content may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or factually wrong. AI systems generate text based on statistical patterns and do not possess genuine understanding, knowledge, or the ability to verify facts.
• Recipe instructions, ingredient quantities, cooking temperatures, and timing may contain errors that could produce unsatisfactory, unpalatable, or in some cases unsafe food outcomes.
• We do not guarantee that any recipe will work as described. Results may vary significantly based on ingredients, equipment, skill level, altitude, humidity, and other factors.
• Recipes Images were generated by AI and may not exactly represent the actual food and may be incorrect.

2.2 Cultural and Social Sensitivity

• AI does not fully understand cultural context, social norms, regional sensitivities, or the deep significance of food to communities. Descriptions of regional dishes, their cultural significance, historical origins, or community associations may be incorrect, generalised, or inadvertently disrespectful.
• Words and phrases used in recipe names, descriptions, or notes may carry meanings, connotations, or implications in regional Indian languages, dialects, or cultural contexts that were not intended. During translation from English into Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, or any other language, terms may take on meanings related to social hierarchies, caste, gender, religion, or community identity that are offensive, misleading, or inappropriate.
• We do not claim that any recipe represents the authentic or authoritative version of any dish. Food is living culture and varies enormously across regions, families, and generations.
• The classification of a dish as belonging to any particular state, community, religion, or ethnic group is approximate and may be disputed.

2.3 Religious and Dietary Classifications

• Vegetarian, non-vegetarian, vegan, Jain, Halal, Kosher, or any other dietary classifications applied to recipes on this Website may be incorrect.
• Ingredients used in a recipe may have religious significance or be prohibited under certain religious dietary laws. AI cannot reliably identify all such cases.
• If you follow strict dietary requirements for health, religious, ethical, or medical reasons, you must independently verify all ingredients and preparation methods before consuming any preparation described on this Website.

2.4 Allergen and Safety Information

• Allergen information on this Website is AI-generated and has not been reviewed by a food safety professional. It may be incomplete, missing, or incorrect.
• If you or anyone you are cooking for has a food allergy or intolerance, do not rely on this Website's allergen information. Always consult the actual ingredient labels and seek professional advice.
