Everything published on Fernsa Kuche exists for one purpose: to share the pleasure of traditional Austrian home cooking. This page draws the honest boundaries around that purpose.

Recipes are stories, not prescriptions

Our articles and recipes are general culinary information, offered in the spirit of a cookbook on a kitchen shelf. They are not medical advice, nutritional advice, dietetic counseling or any other form of professional health guidance, and they are not a substitute for it. Our editorial preference for butter, lard and other traditional fats over refined vegetable oil is exactly that: a culinary tradition and a matter of taste, not a health claim or a recommendation about what anyone should or should not eat.

Speak to a professional where it matters

If you live with a medical condition, a food allergy or intolerance, if you are pregnant or nursing, or if you follow a diet prescribed for you, please consult a qualified physician, dietitian or nutrition professional before changing how you eat. Only someone who knows your situation can advise you on it. A recipe website cannot.

Your kitchen will differ from ours

Cooking is not laboratory work. Ovens run hot or cold, pans conduct differently, flour absorbs water differently from one region to the next, and two cooks following the same page will plate two different dishes. Times, temperatures and yields in our recipes are honest guides drawn from our own testing, not promises of an identical result in your kitchen.

Food safety is in your hands

You alone control the freshness of your ingredients and the hygiene of your workspace. Follow current food safety guidance for storing, handling and cooking raw meat, fish, eggs and dairy, and confirm doneness with a thermometer where appropriate. The publisher accepts no liability for illness or injury arising from the preparation, handling or consumption of any dish made from these pages.

Accuracy, in good faith

We check our recipes and our facts with care before publishing, and we correct errors when readers point them out. Even so, mistakes can slip through, and the content of this site is provided without any warranty of completeness or accuracy. Use your own judgment, and when a step looks wrong to you, trust your experience as a cook.

About the photography

Photographs on this site are served from third party image libraries and are illustrative of the style and spirit of each dish. Your finished plate may look different, and honestly, that is half the charm of home cooking.

External links

Where we link to other websites, we do so because we believe the destination is useful. We do not control external sites, their content or their policies, and a link is not an endorsement of everything found on the other side of it.
