EDITORIAL POLICY

Effective January 22, 2025

While we endeavor to provide the best content available, we cannot guarantee any results (please refer to our Disclaimer Policies).

Core Standards

  • Thorough Recipe Testing: We’re deeply committed to our work and how we cater to our audience. With this dedication in mind, we strive for all recipes featured on Kate’s Best Recipes to undergo thorough testing aimed at ensuring accuracy, reproducibility, and identifying any potential issues. Our goal is that each recipe will be rigorously tested multiple times using standard kitchen equipment.
  • Original & Innovative Recipe Development: Our recipes are developed in-house or carefully curated, prioritizing originality and exciting flavor combinations. We clearly credit any adapted recipes, ensuring the original creators receive proper recognition (please refer to our Terms for full text regarding copyright claims).
  • High-Quality Food Styling & Photography: Food styling and photography are given careful consideration. Our goal is to present dishes in an appetizing and realistic manner, providing clear visual representations of the final recipes. We strive to avoid misleading or overly stylized presentations.
  • Nutritional Information: While we believe the joy of cooking should be a priority, we may provide estimated nutritional information for our recipes when possible. These are calculated using reliable sources but should be considered an approximation.
  • Inclusivity: We welcome and aim to serve a diverse audience. Our recipes will strive to reflect cuisines with the utmost reverence, dietary preferences, and skill levels whenever possible.

Editorial Process

  1. Recipe Development: Recipes are almost exclusively developed in-house but on occasion, carefully selected from trusted sources.
  2. Testing & Refinement: Recipes undergo multiple rounds of testing, focusing on flavor, ease of replication, and ingredient clarity. Adjustments are made as needed.
  3. Food Styling & Photography: Each dish is styled and photographed with an emphasis on authenticity and visual appeal. Photos are edited for accurate color representation.
  4. Fact-checking & Editing: Recipes and accompanying articles are thoroughly reviewed for accuracy, grammatical errors, and clarity of instructions.
  5. Publication & Updates: Upon publication, recipes are occasionally retested and, if necessary, updated to maintain accuracy and address any reader feedback. All updates are noted with the date at the top of each post.
