Information Accuracy

Welcome to my kitchen! I'm Evlin Ardelo, and this is my personal corner of the internet where I share my passion for cooking, family recipes, and culinary experiments. The content here is a reflection of my personal journey with food, created with love and a genuine desire to inspire you. To ensure we're all on the same page, please take a moment to read this disclaimer regarding the information, especially the recipes, provided on this blog.

A Note on Recipe Accuracy and Efforts

I pour my heart into developing and testing the recipes you find here. My process typically involves:

Creating the recipe based on personal taste, tradition, or inspiration.
Testing it multiple times in my own home kitchen to refine flavors and techniques.
Measuring ingredients carefully to provide clear, standard instructions.

However, it is crucial to understand that I am a home cook, not a certified nutritionist or a professional chef working in a controlled environment. My kitchen is my lab, complete with its own quirks, and your kitchen will be different.

No Guarantees Provided

While I strive for accuracy, I cannot and do not guarantee the outcome of any recipe you try. Cooking is not an exact science like baking, but even in baking, many variables can affect the final product. I provide these recipes "as is" for your informational and entertainment purposes. Your results may vary due to a multitude of factors beyond my control.

Your Responsibility as the Cook

You are ultimately responsible for your safety and the outcomes in your own kitchen. This includes, but is not limited to:

Food Safety: Ensuring that all ingredients are fresh, stored properly, and cooked to safe internal temperatures to prevent foodborne illness.
Allergies and Dietary Needs: Carefully reviewing the ingredient list for any allergens or items that conflict with your dietary restrictions. It is your responsibility to make substitutions as needed.
Judgment and Skill Level: Using your own judgment regarding cooking times, techniques, and the doneness of food. What works perfectly on my stove in 10 minutes might need 12 on yours.

The Art of Ingredient Substitutions

I encourage creativity in the kitchen! Substituting ingredients is a fantastic way to personalize a dish or use what you have on hand. However, please be aware that substitutions will almost always alter the final taste, texture, and appearance of the recipe. Swapping dried herbs for fresh, using a different type of flour, or choosing a alternative protein can lead to significantly different results. I may suggest substitutions sometimes, but I cannot guarantee the outcome of any substitution you choose to make.

Understanding Measurement Variations

This is a critical point. I primarily use standard US customary measurements (cups, teaspoons, tablespoons). The way you measure flour (scooping vs. spooning and leveling) can drastically change the amount you use. Oven temperatures can be notoriously inaccurate; an oven set to 350°F (175°C) might actually run 25 degrees hotter or cooler. Pan sizes, material (glass vs. metal), and altitude can also influence cooking times and results. For the most precise results, especially in baking, I highly recommend using a kitchen scale for weight-based measurements.

In short, view my recipes as a trusted friend's suggestions rather than rigid, scientific formulas. The goal is to enjoy the process, learn something new, and create delicious food that brings joy to your table. Happy cooking!

Consult a Healthcare Professional: Before making any significant changes to your diet, lifestyle, or wellness routine, you must consult with a qualified healthcare professional, such as a licensed physician, registered dietitian, or certified nutritionist. This is especially critical if you have any pre-existing health conditions.
Individual Results May Vary: The nutritional information provided is based on standard ingredient databases and is intended as an estimate. Actual nutritional values can vary significantly based on the specific ingredients you use, portion sizes, and preparation methods. The wellness benefits described are based on general knowledge and personal anecdote and are not guarantees of specific results for any individual.
Addressing Allergies and Dietary Restrictions: You are solely responsible for ensuring that any recipe you choose to prepare is safe and suitable for your personal dietary needs. Always check ingredient labels carefully for potential allergens. We strive to note common allergens, but manufacturers can change ingredients, and cross-contamination can occur. If you have severe allergies, you must exercise extreme caution.
Pre-Existing Health Conditions: If you are managing a health condition such as diabetes, celiac disease, heart disease, high blood pressure, autoimmune disorders, or any other chronic illness, the guidance of your healthcare provider is essential. Recipes may need to be modified to meet your specific medical requirements.

Nutritional Information

Nutritional Information Disclaimer for Evlin Ardelo

The nutritional information provided for recipes on Evlin Ardelo is intended for informational and educational purposes only. Please be aware that these figures are estimates and not a substitute for professional dietary advice. We strive for accuracy, but many factors can influence the final nutritional values of the food you prepare at home.

The values are calculated using a third-party nutritional calculator and are based on the specific ingredients and quantities listed in each recipe. However, the following variables can cause significant variations:

Specific Ingredient Brands: Different brands of the same ingredient (e.g., canned tomatoes, types of cheese, or yogurt) can have varying nutritional profiles. We use generic data, but your chosen brand may differ.
Natural Variations in Produce: The size, ripeness, and natural sugar content of fresh fruits and vegetables are not uniform.
Optional Ingredients & Substitutions: When a recipe includes optional items (like a garnish) or suggests substitutions (e.g., almond milk for dairy milk), the nutritional data will change based on what you choose to include or exclude.
Actual Portion Sizes: Our calculations assume the recipe is divided exactly as described. Your personal portion size may be larger or smaller, altering the nutritional intake.
Cooking Methods: Slight differences in cooking time, temperature, and technique can affect the final nutritional content.

Therefore, it is crucial to independently verify the accuracy of the nutritional information if you have specific health concerns or are following a strict diet for medical reasons, such as managing diabetes, heart disease, or food allergies. We recommend using a reliable nutritional calculator with the exact brands and measurements you use in your kitchen or consulting with a registered dietitian or healthcare provider.

Finally, individual dietary needs are highly personal. Factors like age, gender, activity level, and overall health determine your unique nutritional requirements. The information on this site is a general guide and should not be considered a personalized nutrition plan. Always seek the advice of a qualified health professional with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition or dietary changes.

By using the recipes and information on Evlin Ardelo, you acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for your own dietary decisions and health outcomes.
