Disclaimer – Noor Recipes

Last Updated: September 23, 2025
Effective Date: October 15, 2025

Before you dive into cooking with us, there are some important things you should know. I want to be completely transparent about what I can and can’t promise, and what you should keep in mind when using the recipes and advice on Noor Recipes. This isn’t meant to scare you—it’s meant to keep everyone safe and set realistic expectations.

General Information Purpose

Everything on Noor Recipes—the recipes, cooking tips, ingredient advice, and kitchen stories—is shared for educational and entertainment purposes only. I’m sharing what works in my kitchen, with my family, using my equipment and experience. Your results may vary, and that’s completely normal.

Important: The content on this website is not intended as professional cooking instruction, nutritional counseling, medical advice, or any other type of professional service. It’s one dad sharing what he’s learned about feeding his family well.

I test every recipe multiple times in my own kitchen, but I can’t account for every possible variation in ingredients, equipment, skill level, or cooking conditions. Use your best judgment, trust your instincts, and when in doubt, err on the side of caution.

Food Safety & Cooking Disclaimers

⚠️ Critical Food Safety Information

You are solely responsible for food safety in your kitchen. While I include basic food safety guidance, I cannot guarantee the safety of any recipe if not prepared, cooked, and stored properly.

Temperature Guidelines:

Always use a food thermometer to ensure safe internal temperatures:

Chicken & Turkey: 165°F (74°C)
Ground Beef & Pork: 160°F (71°C)
Beef & Pork Cuts: 145°F (63°C) with 3-minute rest
Fish & Shellfish: 145°F (63°C)
Leftovers: Reheat to 165°F (74°C)

Food Safety Responsibilities:

Ingredient Freshness: Check expiration dates and inspect ingredients before use
Cross-Contamination: Use separate cutting boards for raw meat and other ingredients
Storage: Follow proper refrigeration and freezing guidelines
Cooking Times: My timing estimates are guidelines—always check for doneness
Kitchen Cleanliness: Maintain clean work surfaces and wash hands frequently

Allergy & Dietary Restrictions Warning

Always check all ingredients if you have food allergies or dietary restrictions. While I try to note common allergens, I may miss something. Recipe labels like “gluten-free” or “dairy-free” are based on the specific ingredients I used—always verify for your needs.

Common allergens that may appear without specific mention: wheat, soy, eggs, dairy, nuts, shellfish, fish, sesame.

Health & Nutrition Information

I Am Not a Healthcare Professional: I’m a chef and a dad, not a doctor, nutritionist, dietitian, or any other type of healthcare provider. Nothing on this website should be considered medical or professional dietary advice.

Nutritional Information Disclaimers:

Estimates Only: Any nutritional data provided is approximate and calculated using standard databases
Ingredient Variations: Actual nutritional content varies based on specific brands, preparation methods, and serving sizes
Not Medical Advice: Information about health benefits of ingredients is educational, not prescriptive
Individual Needs: Your dietary and nutritional needs are unique to you

Health Conditions & Special Diets:

If you have any of the following, please consult with appropriate healthcare professionals before making dietary changes:

Diabetes or blood sugar management issues
Heart disease or cardiovascular conditions
High blood pressure or kidney problems
Food allergies or intolerances
Eating disorders or history of disordered eating
Any chronic health condition affected by diet
Pregnancy or breastfeeding

No Professional Relationship

Using this website, reading our content, or subscribing to our newsletter does not create any kind of professional relationship between us. Specifically:

No Chef-Client Relationship: I’m not your personal chef or cooking instructor
No Nutritionist-Client Relationship: I’m not providing personalized nutritional counseling
No Consultation Services: Email responses are friendly help, not professional consultation
No Liability for Outcomes: I’m not responsible for your cooking results, health outcomes, or dietary choices

Think of our interaction like getting cooking advice from a knowledgeable friend—helpful, well-intentioned, but not professional services.

Results Not Guaranteed

I wish I could promise that every recipe will turn out perfectly for everyone, but that’s just not realistic. Here’s what might affect your results:

Variables That Affect Cooking:

Equipment Differences: Ovens vary by up to 25°F, stovetop heat levels differ, pan materials affect cooking
Ingredient Variations: Different brands, freshness levels, and quality can change outcomes
Environmental Factors: Altitude, humidity, and temperature affect baking especially
Skill Level: Experience with techniques affects timing and results
Personal Taste: What tastes perfect to my family might need adjustment for yours

What I Can Promise:

Every recipe has been tested multiple times in my kitchen
I’ll share honest feedback about difficulty level and common issues
I’ll update recipes if I discover better methods or catch errors
I’ll respond to questions and help troubleshoot when I can

Recipe Modifications

Feel free to adapt recipes for your family’s preferences or dietary needs, but understand that changes can affect the final result. I can’t guarantee success if you substitute ingredients or change methods significantly.

External Links Policy

I sometimes link to other websites for equipment recommendations, ingredient sources, or additional information. Here’s what you should know:

Third-Party Content:

Not My Responsibility: I’m not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of other websites
No Endorsement: Linking doesn’t mean I endorse everything on that site
Affiliate Links: Some links may earn me a small commission (always disclosed)
Prices & Availability: Product prices and availability change frequently
Your Decision: You’re responsible for evaluating any purchases or information from external sites

Product Recommendations:

When I recommend kitchen equipment or ingredients, it’s based on my personal experience. What works for my cooking style and budget might not be right for you. Do your own research before making purchases.

Content Accuracy & Updates

I do my best to keep information accurate and current, but mistakes happen and things change:

Accuracy Efforts:

I test recipes multiple times before publishing
I research cooking techniques and food safety guidelines
I update content when I discover errors or better methods
I welcome feedback and corrections from readers

Limitations:

Human Error: I might make mistakes in measurements, timing, or instructions
Changing Information: Food safety guidelines, product availability, and best practices evolve
Not Real-Time: Updates may take time to implement across all content
No Warranty: I can’t guarantee 100% accuracy of all information

Found an Error? Please let me know! Email me at [email protected] with details, and I’ll investigate and correct it promptly.

Kitchen Equipment & Safety

Cooking involves potentially dangerous tools and processes. You’re responsible for kitchen safety:

Common Kitchen Hazards:

Sharp Knives: Always cut away from your body and keep knives sharp and clean
Hot Surfaces: Use oven mitts, be aware of hot handles and surfaces
Oil & Grease: Risk of burns and fires—never leave oil heating unattended
Electrical Equipment: Keep cords away from water and heat sources
Gas Appliances: Ensure proper ventilation and follow manufacturer guidelines

Safety Assumptions:

My recipes assume you have basic kitchen safety knowledge. If you’re new to cooking, consider taking a basic cooking class or watching safety tutorials before attempting more complex recipes.

Age-Appropriate Content

Noor Recipes is designed for adults who are cooking for themselves and their families. While I love encouraging kids to help in the kitchen:

Adult Supervision: Children should always be supervised when cooking
Age-Appropriate Tasks: Not all recipes or techniques are suitable for all ages
Safety First: Adults are responsible for determining what’s safe for their children
Educational Purpose: Content about cooking with kids is educational, not instructional

Geographic & Legal Limitations

I’m based in New York, and my advice reflects US cooking standards and ingredient availability:

Local Ingredients: Some ingredients may not be available in all areas
Food Safety Standards: I follow US food safety guidelines
Legal Compliance: Website governed by US and New York law

If you’re ever unsure about anything—whether it’s a recipe instruction, food safety question, or website policy—please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d rather answer questions than have anyone confused or unsafe in their kitchen.

The Bottom Line

These disclaimers might seem like a lot, but they boil down to common sense: be safe in your kitchen, use your judgment, take responsibility for your own cooking and health decisions, and remember that cooking is supposed to be enjoyable.

I share recipes and cooking advice because I love food and want to help families eat well together. But at the end of the day, you’re the one in your kitchen, making decisions for your family, and you know your situation better than I do.

Cook safely, have fun, and don’t be afraid to make mistakes—that’s how we all get better. And if something goes wrong, learn from it, laugh about it, and try again tomorrow. That’s what real cooking is all about.

This disclaimer was written with genuine concern for your safety and success in the kitchen.
When in doubt, trust your instincts and prioritize safety over any recipe.
