Editorial policy

What we publish

Plant-forward Mediterranean and Turkish home cooking: dishes cooked at home in the region, written so that readers elsewhere can make them with what their supermarkets sell.

Accuracy

• No invented history, statistics, quotes or reviews.
• No health or diet claims, including claims about body weight; nutrition is shown as information only.
• No star ratings or reader reviews that we did not receive.
• No stock photographs. Dish images are AI-generated, labeled "AI-generated image" on the page, and are not photographs of our cooking.
• Careful, general wording about where a dish is eaten and what it is called.

Guides

Kitchen guides are written only from published sources that are listed at the end of each guide. Every factual sentence cites its source number, the quoted passages are checked against the source pages by code, and two AI reviewers check the citations and the safety advice before publication.

Use of AI tools

We use AI writing tools to prepare drafts and AI reviewers to check them, as described in how we make recipes. Nutrition, diet labels and unit conversions are calculated by code from USDA data. AI output is never treated as a source.

Dish images on recipe pages are made with an AI image model from the recipe's own ingredient list and serving step. Each image is checked against that list before it is published, carries a small "AI-generated image" label on the page, and is marked as AI-generated in the image file (IPTC digital source type).

Independence

No sponsored recipes, no paid placements and no brand names in recipes. If this ever changes, sponsored content will be labeled clearly.

Updates and corrections

When we correct a recipe, the page shows a new updated date. Report a problem at hello@green.recipes.
