Everything published on Medinh Fogón is food writing. This page spells out, in plain words, the boundaries of what a recipe journal can and cannot promise you.

Recipes are stories with measurements

Our recipes document how traditional Andalusian dishes are cooked in home kitchens. They are shared for information, inspiration and pleasure. They are not instructions issued by a culinary school, and following them is always a matter of your own skill, your own equipment and your own judgment.

This is not nutrition or medical advice

Nothing on this site is nutritional counselling, medical advice, or a recommendation about what you personally should or should not eat. We write about olive oil because it is the traditional fat of the region whose food we document, not as a health claim. If you have a medical condition, an allergy, an intolerance, or specific dietary requirements, the right person to ask is a qualified physician, dietitian or nutritionist, never a recipe website.

Allergens live in every kitchen

Dishes on this site routinely contain gluten, eggs, dairy, fish and other common allergens, and traces of others may hide in the ingredients you buy. Read your labels, know your sensitivities, and when cooking for guests, ask about theirs. We cannot know what is in your pantry.

Results will vary, and that is normal

A braise in Córdoba and the same braise in your kitchen will never be identical twins. Ovens, pans, altitude, the ripeness of a tomato, the age of a flour, all of it shifts the outcome. Times and temperatures in our recipes are honest guides drawn from our own testing, not promises of a particular result.

Kitchen safety is your charge

Several recipes here involve hot oil, open flames, sharp knives and long braises. Cook attentively, keep children at a safe distance from the stove, heat oil gradually and never leave it unattended, and follow accepted food safety practice for storing and reheating what you cook. Responsibility for safe practice in your kitchen rests with you.

Outside links and advertising

Where this site links to other websites or displays third party advertising, we take no responsibility for what those third parties publish, sell or claim. Their content is theirs alone.

A final word

We stand behind the care we put into this journal, and we correct errors when readers point them out. Within the limits described above, the publisher accepts no liability for losses arising from reliance on the site's content. Cook generously, taste often, and trust your senses.
