Disclosure Policy

1. Who We Are

Attic Recipes is a digital culinary history project researching, adapting, and publishing recipes inspired by early 20th century European culinary traditions for modern kitchens. This disclosure policy explains how we earn money and how that may affect the content you read.

We are committed to full transparency. If something could be influenced by a financial relationship, we will tell you.

2. Affiliate Links

Some links on this website are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no additional cost to you. Affiliate links are used for kitchen equipment, ingredients, and books.

Our promise: We only link to products we genuinely believe are useful. Affiliate relationships never influence which recipes we publish or how we write about them.

3. Advertising

This website displays advertisements served by Google AdSense, automatically selected based on page content and your browsing history (subject to your cookie consent choices).

We do not accept direct advertising deals or sponsored placements. Advertisements are served automatically and do not represent endorsements by Attic Recipes.

4. Sponsored Content

Attic Recipes does not currently publish sponsored posts or paid content. If this changes, any sponsored content will be clearly labeled "Sponsored" or "Paid Partnership" at the top of the post, in compliance with FTC and EU disclosure requirements.

5. Editorial Independence

All recipes, articles, and content reflect honest, independent editorial judgment. No brand, advertiser, or affiliate partner has editorial control over what we publish, how recipes are written, or which products we recommend.

Every recipe on this site is an original, independently created modern adaptation developed through culinary research and food science knowledge. All recipes are inspired by culinary traditions of the early 20th century. Source materials consulted during research are historical publications in the public domain. No original text from any external source has been reproduced on this site.

Note on Historical Accuracy: Researching century-old culinary literature involves interpreting archaic measurements and occasional discrepancies in original source texts. We apply modern culinary logic to correct clear historical errors or omissions for a safer and more practical cooking experience.

6. Content Development

Written content and recipe development are produced through a combination of culinary knowledge, historical research, and contemporary editorial tools. All factual claims are reviewed by hand and sourced to established references where relevant.

The use of research and editorial tools does not affect the integrity of content, the sourcing of factual claims, or the independence of editorial decisions.

8. Images and Visual Content

Food photography and images used on this website are AI-generated and are intended as visual representations only. They do not depict the actual prepared dish and may not accurately reflect the final appearance of the recipe as prepared in your kitchen. All images are original works created for this site.

9. Historical Ingredients & High-Risk Foods

Attic Recipes features historical methods for preparing ingredients that require specialized knowledge and modern safety precautions. These include, but are not limited to:

• Offal & Organ Meats: Brains, liver, and kidneys must be sourced from certified suppliers and cooked to a safe internal temperature of at least 71°C (160°F).
• Wild Game: Meat from wild sources may contain natural parasites or traces of lead shot. Always ensure thorough cooking and careful inspection.
• Raw & Undercooked Eggs: Meringues, mousses, and traditional sauces using undercooked eggs carry a risk of Salmonella. We strongly advise using pasteurized eggs, particularly for vulnerable groups.
• Alcohol in Cooking: Some recipes include alcohol. These recipes are intended for adults only. Cooking does not always fully eliminate alcohol content. Not suitable for children, pregnant individuals, or those who avoid alcohol for medical or religious reasons.
• Home Canning & Preserving: Follow current approved methods from your national food safety authority. Improper home canning can cause serious illness, including botulism.
• Allergens: Recipes on this site may contain or come into contact with gluten, eggs, dairy, nuts, fish, shellfish, soy, celery, mustard, sesame, sulphites, and other allergens. Always check individual recipe pages for allergen information. Never rely solely on this site for allergy-critical decisions.

Disclaimer: We publish these recipes as historical and culinary reference material. We are not responsible for any adverse effects resulting from the preparation or consumption of these recipes. Users are urged to consult modern food safety authorities (e.g., CDC, EFSA, FSA) and qualified healthcare professionals before attempting any high-risk preparations.
