What requires written permission
- Using several photos, or a photo without a link to the recipe.
- Copying the text of a recipe (introduction, steps, tips) onto another site.

Open-access data
Some recipes on this site, and their photos, come from open-access data (collaborative cookbooks, Wikimedia Commons, open data). They remain under their original licence, not "all rights reserved": you may reuse them under the terms of that licence (credit the author, state the licence, indicate changes and, for a "share alike" licence such as CC BY-SA, share them under the same licence). They can be recognised by the licence notice at the bottom of the recipe.

Illustrations for recipes without a photo
When a recipe does not have a photo yet, it is illustrated with an image generated by artificial intelligence on our own servers. These illustrations do not show the dish as it was actually made; they are labelled as such in the file metadata and are replaced as soon as a real photo is available.
