Terms of Use

TopTenPlates is a recipe and food-culture publication operated by Jose Salgado in Florida, United States. Questions and corrections can be sent to [hello@toptenplates.com](mailto:hello@toptenplates.com). These terms apply to use of this website.

You may read, cook from and print recipes for personal, noncommercial use. You may share links to our pages. For permission to republish substantial portions of our writing or reuse images, contact us first.

These terms do not claim ownership of traditional dishes, ingredient facts, cooking methods or other material that copyright law does not protect. They do not restrict uses that the law independently permits. Rights in third-party material remain with the relevant rights holders.

Recipes provide general cooking information, not individualized medical, allergy or nutrition advice. Ingredients, equipment, substitutions and technique affect results. Follow relevant food-safety guidance, check ingredient labels and use suitable equipment.

Measurements, timings and yields may be estimates. A kitchen-tested label refers to the testing status described on the recipe; it is not a guarantee of identical results in every kitchen. Read the [Recipe & AI Disclosure](/disclosure/) for how to interpret our content and images.

We aim to correct mistakes. If instructions appear inconsistent or unsafe, stop and contact us rather than relying on a disclaimer or guessing.

Do not attempt to disrupt the site, bypass security, submit malicious material or use the contact and subscription services to harass others. External services have their own terms and privacy notices.

Content and features may be revised, corrected or removed. We do not promise uninterrupted availability or that every page is free of errors. Nothing in these terms excludes responsibilities or rights that applicable law does not allow to be excluded.

If you send a correction or suggestion, we may use the information to improve the site. This does not grant us a blanket right to publish your private message, name or photographs. We will seek permission where needed.

Changes to these terms will appear here with an updated date. Please contact Jose Salgado at [hello@toptenplates.com](mailto:hello@toptenplates.com) with questions about use of the site or permissions.
