Terms of Use

The house rules — short and fair. Last updated: June 2026.

By using www.ourgranniesrecipes.com you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site — though we'd be sorry to see you go.

Our content

All content on this site — recipes as written, photographs, illustrations, text and design — is owned by Our Grannies' Recipes and protected by copyright. You're very welcome to cook our recipes, print them for personal use, and share links to any page. Please don't republish our recipes, photos or text in full elsewhere (including on other websites, apps or social media) without written permission. A titled link back — e.g. "Apple Tart from Our Grannies' Recipes" — is always the right way to share.

For clarity: lists of ingredients are not generally protected by copyright, but our written methods, headnotes, photography and design are.

Your submissions

If you submit a recipe, story or photo to us, you confirm it's yours to share, and you grant us a non-exclusive license to test, edit, publish and credit it on this site and our channels. You keep ownership of your own family recipe — of course you do.

The kitchen disclaimer

We test every recipe carefully, but ovens, ingredients and kitchens vary. Recipes and any nutrition figures are provided in good faith for general information; nutrition values are estimates, not medical advice. You're responsible for safe food handling, checking doneness (especially meat), and managing allergies and dietary requirements. If you have specific dietary or medical needs, consult a professional.

Advertising & links

The site is supported by advertising and may contain affiliate links, meaning we may earn a small commission if you buy something we've genuinely recommended — at no extra cost to you. Sponsored content, if any, will always be clearly labelled. External links are provided for convenience; we're not responsible for the content of other sites.

No warranties; limitation of liability

The site is provided "as is". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude warranties of any kind and are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss arising from use of the site. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time; the date above will always tell you when. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept them.

Good to know

Using our recipes

Can I print a recipe for myself?

Yes, absolutely. Print it, cook it, stick it inside a cupboard door, hand it to a neighbor. Personal use is exactly what these are for.

Can I republish a recipe on my blog or social media?

Not in full, and not without written permission our written methods, headnotes, photographs and design are copyright. What you are always welcome to do is link. A titled link, such as “Apple Tart from Our Grannies' Recipes”, is the right way to share it.

Can I use your photographs?

No, not without written permission. The photography is ours.

Is a list of ingredients copyrighted?

Generally not a bare list of ingredients is not protected. The written method, the headnote, the photographs and the design are, and those are the parts that took the work.
