- We’re not your doctor or dietitian. Our content is educational, not personalized medical or nutritional advice.
- We’re not perfect. Despite our best efforts, errors can happen in recipes or information.

General Information Disclaimer
All content on VeganRecipesGuide.com including recipes, articles, videos, photographs, and comments is provided for general informational and educational purposes only.
This means: Our content is meant to inspire, educate, and help you learn about plant based cooking and nutrition. It’s not a substitute for professional advice, diagnosis, or treatment in any field (medical, nutritional, legal, financial, or otherwise).
Our Team’s Qualifications: While our team includes individuals with relevant education and experience Emma (culinary degree), Olivia (Master’s in Public Health Nutrition), Daniel (Master’s in Nutritional Sciences), Chris (video production and recipe development), and Sophia (food styling and photography) we’re not providing individualized professional services through this website.
Use Your Judgment: You should always use your own judgment, common sense, and, when appropriate, consult with qualified professionals before making decisions based on information from our website.
Not Medical or Professional Nutritional Advice
We Are Not Your Healthcare Providers: None of the content on Vegan Recipes Guide should be considered medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. While members of our team have relevant education and credentials, we don’t know your individual health situation, and we’re not providing personalized medical guidance.
No Doctor Patient Relationship: Using our website doesn’t create a healthcare provider patient or dietitian client relationship between you and any member of our team.
When to Consult Professionals: You should consult with qualified healthcare providers before:
- Making significant dietary changes, especially if you have existing health conditions
- Starting a plant-based or vegan diet if you have diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, or other chronic conditions
- Changing or stopping any medications or treatments
- Addressing nutritional deficiencies or concerns
- Planning diets for pregnant or nursing individuals
- Planning diets for infants, children, or teenagers
- Addressing eating disorders or disordered eating patterns
- Making decisions about supplements
Individual Variation: Every person is unique. Your nutritional needs depend on your age, sex, activity level, health status, genetics, and many other factors. What works for others may not work for you.
Medical Emergencies: If you experience severe allergic reactions, adverse health effects, or any medical emergency, call 911 or seek immediate medical attention. Don’t rely on information from our website in emergency situations.
Plant Based Diet and Nutrition Disclaimers
Dietary Changes Take Time: Transitioning to plant based eating can affect your body in various ways. Some people experience positive changes quickly, while others may need time to adjust.
Nutrient Considerations: Plant based diets can be nutritionally complete and healthy when properly planned. However, certain nutrients require attention:
- Vitamin B12: Not naturally present in plant foods; supplementation or fortified foods typically necessary
- Vitamin D: May require supplementation depending on sun exposure and location
- Omega 3 fatty acids: Plant based sources differ from marine sources; consider needs carefully
- Iron and Zinc: Plant sources are less readily absorbed; strategies exist to improve absorption
- Calcium: Available from plant sources but requires attention to intake
- Protein: Easily obtained from varied plant foods but requires diverse diet
We Provide General Information: Our nutrition content discusses these considerations generally, but your specific needs may differ. Work with a registered dietitian for personalized guidance.
Not a Cure or Treatment: We never claim that plant-based eating cures, treats, or prevents any disease. While research suggests various potential health benefits of plant based diets, individual results vary and many factors affect health outcomes.
Existing Health Conditions: If you have existing health conditions, work with your healthcare team when making dietary changes. Some conditions require specific dietary modifications that may affect how you should approach plant-based eating.
Food Allergy and Safety Warnings
Allergen Information: We attempt to identify major allergens in our recipes (nuts, soy, gluten, etc.), but we cannot guarantee this information is complete or accurate for your specific needs.
Your Responsibility: It’s your responsibility to:
- Read all ingredient labels carefully
- Know your own allergies and sensitivities
- Verify that substitutions are safe for your needs
- Understand cross-contamination risks in your own kitchen
- Consult with allergists or healthcare providers about your specific allergies
Cross Contamination: Even if a recipe is intended to be free from certain allergens, cross contamination can occur during manufacturing of ingredients, in your own kitchen from shared equipment and surfaces, and during storage.
We Can’t Verify All Products: When we recommend specific brands or products, we’re sharing what we’ve used successfully. However, formulations change, and we can’t verify current allergen information for every product we mention.
Food Safety: Follow basic food safety practices:
- Wash produce thoroughly
- Store perishable ingredients properly
- Cook foods to appropriate temperatures when necessary
- Follow safe handling practices for raw and cooked foods
- Use your judgment about food freshness and safety
- When in doubt, throw it out
Kitchen Safety: Be careful when using kitchen equipment, handling hot items, working with sharp tools like knives and graters, blending hot liquids, and following appliance manufacturer instructions.
Recipe Disclaimers
Testing and Accuracy: We test every recipe we publish multiple times before sharing it. However, even with careful testing, several factors affect recipe outcomes.
Results May Vary: Your results may differ from ours due to:
- Ingredient variations: Different brands, sizes, ripeness levels, moisture content
- Equipment differences: Oven temperatures vary, blender power differs, pan materials affect cooking
- Environmental factors: Altitude, humidity, water quality
- Measurement methods: How ingredients are measured and packed
- Technique variations: Even small differences in technique can affect outcomes
- Personal preferences: What tastes “perfect” to us might be too spicy, too sweet, or too bland for you
Oven Temperatures: All oven temperatures in our recipes are approximate. Ovens vary significantly, and you may need to adjust temperatures or cooking times. Use visual cues and your judgment, not just timers.
Timing Estimates: Recipe times are based on our testing with:
- Average cooking skill level
- Standard kitchen equipment
- Average ingredient prep needs
Your actual time may be shorter or longer depending on your experience, equipment, and prep efficiency.
Nutritional Information: When provided, nutritional information is calculated using standard databases and typical ingredient measurements. Actual nutritional content will vary based on specific ingredients used, measurement accuracy, and preparation methods.
Nutritional calculations are estimates only and should not be relied upon for medical or dietary decisions requiring precise information.
Substitutions: We often suggest ingredient substitutions. However, not all substitutions work equally well, and we can’t test every possible combination. Substitutions are suggestions, not guarantees.
Modifications: When you modify our recipes (changing ingredients, amounts, or techniques), outcomes may differ from our tested version. Use your judgment and culinary knowledge when experimenting.
Weight Loss and Health Outcome Disclaimers
No Guaranteed Results: We never guarantee specific health outcomes, weight loss results, or other measurable changes from following our recipes or advice.
Many Factors Affect Health: Your health is influenced by genetics, overall lifestyle and activity level, stress and sleep patterns, existing health conditions, medications, and many other factors beyond diet alone.
Sustainable Approach: We promote balanced, sustainable approaches to plant based eating not quick fixes, extreme restrictions, or fad diets.
Not Diet Culture: We don’t support diet culture, extreme calorie restriction, elimination of entire food groups without medical reason, exercise as punishment, or obsessive food tracking.
Individual Variation: People respond differently to dietary changes. Some see rapid changes, others experience gradual shifts, and some may not see expected results at all.
Consult Professionals for Weight Management: If you’re pursuing weight loss for health reasons, work with registered dietitians, physicians, and other qualified healthcare providers who can provide personalized guidance.
Content Accuracy and Updates
We Strive for Accuracy: Our team works hard to provide accurate, well researched information. Daniel reviews all health and nutrition claims, we cite credible sources, and we test all recipes multiple times.
Errors Can Happen: Despite our best efforts, mistakes can occur. Errors in recipes (typos, wrong measurements, missing steps), outdated information as research evolves, broken links, technical issues, and human oversight all happen sometimes.
We Make Corrections: When we discover errors or receive credible reports of problems, we investigate promptly, correct errors when confirmed, and update the “last modified” date.
Report Errors: If you find an error, please let us know at [email protected]. We appreciate it and will investigate.
Evolving Science: Nutrition science evolves constantly. Research that was considered accurate when we published content may be revised or contradicted by later studies. We update content when significant new research emerges, but can’t guarantee every piece of content reflects the absolute latest research.
Personal Experience vs. Science: Some of our content reflects our team members’ personal experiences and opinions. We try to distinguish clearly between evidence based information and personal experience/opinion. Neither should replace professional medical advice.

Research Citations: When we cite scientific research, we’re reporting what that research found not necessarily endorsing its conclusions or claiming it’s the final word. Science is an ongoing conversation with evolving understanding.
Product Recommendations: When we recommend products, we share what we personally use and like. We can’t guarantee these products will work for you, that formulations haven’t changed, that they’ll be available when you look for them, or that you’ll have the same experience we did.
Affiliate Disclosure: Some product links are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a small commission if you purchase through them. This doesn’t influence our recommendations we only recommend what we genuinely use and believe is valuable. See our full Affiliate Disclosure in our Terms & Conditions.
