At Nana Doris’s Recipes, our goal is to publish clear, useful, and honestly presented cooking content. This Editorial Policy sets out the standards that guide our writing, review, attribution, and corrections.
These standards apply to recipes, cooking tips, articles, and accompanying visuals published on nanadoris.com.
Our Editorial Purpose
We aim to help readers explore home cooking through approachable recipes and practical explanations.
Our content focuses on everyday meals, cakes, desserts, breakfast ideas, air fryer recipes, and quick dishes. We prioritize information that helps readers understand what they need, how to proceed, and which details may affect the result.
We write in American English for a primarily U.S. audience while welcoming readers from other countries.
Who Nana Doris Represents
Nana Doris is a fictional character created to express the warmth and generosity associated with home cooking.
The name Nana Doris serves as our public byline and shared editorial identity. It does not identify a real grandmother, certified chef, dietitian, or other credentialed professional.
Content published under this name is produced and reviewed by the people responsible for the Website. Responsibility for editorial decisions remains with those people, rather than with the fictional character.
We do not invent personal memories, professional experience, family traditions, or firsthand cooking accounts for Nana Doris and present them as factual.
Content Quality and Clarity
Our editorial standards call for content that is understandable, relevant, and consistent.
For recipe articles, this means paying attention to:
- Ingredient quantities and preparation details.
- A logical sequence of instructions.
- Consistency between the ingredient list and the method.
- Equipment, temperatures, and timing where relevant.
- Serving sizes and yields presented with appropriate context.
- Clear distinctions between required steps and optional suggestions.
We aim to explain unfamiliar terms when they are necessary and avoid unnecessary repetition.
Measurements and temperatures should have clearly identified units. If conversions are included, they should be appropriate to the ingredient and method rather than imply that every conversion is exact.
Originality and Sources
Our articles should offer original writing and useful organization. We do not treat another publisher’s wording, photographs, or personal experiences as our own.
Traditional dishes and common cooking methods may be shared across many sources. We distinguish these general ideas from another creator’s original expression or distinctive contribution.
When content draws substantially on an identifiable source or adapts a specific published recipe, appropriate acknowledgment and a link should be included. Attribution does not replace permission when permission is required.
Factual claims requiring support should rely on suitable sources. For food safety guidance, our standard is to consult relevant public authorities or other qualified sources rather than rely solely on informal cooking advice.
Editorial Review
Content is produced and reviewed by the team responsible for Nana Doris’s Recipes. Editorial review focuses on writing quality, internal consistency, clarity, and the support for factual statements.
Review should identify missing ingredients, conflicting quantities, unclear steps, unsupported claims, and descriptions that could mislead readers about the content’s origin.
Editorial review is not the same as preparing a dish. It does not establish that a recipe has been kitchen-tested or professionally evaluated.
We do not claim that every article receives review by a chef, healthcare professional, or food safety specialist.
Recipe Testing and Firsthand Experience
A recipe may be described as tested by our team only when an actual cooking test has been completed and documented.
Documentation should identify the version prepared, relevant ingredients and equipment, and observations from the preparation. Claims about testing must remain within what that record supports.
Testing one version does not establish that every substitution, appliance, serving size, or variation will work equally well.
When testing has not been documented, content must not imply firsthand verification through phrases such as “we tested this,” “our kitchen favorite,” or “perfect every time.”
Publication, editorial review, and an accompanying image are not proof of kitchen testing. Where testing is not expressly identified, readers should not assume that the recipe has been prepared by our team.
Practical Guidance and Recipe Limitations
Cooking outcomes vary with ingredients, equipment, measurements, altitude, and technique.
Timing and yield estimates should be presented as estimates. Suggested substitutions should distinguish between documented results and possibilities that have not been verified.
We avoid unsupported guarantees about taste, texture, convenience, cost, or cooking success.
Food safety instructions should take priority over appearance or convenience. Dietary descriptions and nutrition estimates should include appropriate limitations rather than imply medical suitability or certainty.
Images and Visual Accuracy
Images should help readers understand or explore the content without creating a false impression of firsthand experience.
Depending on the article, visuals may include original photographs, properly licensed images, illustrations, or AI-generated images. This list describes permitted formats, not a claim that all formats are currently used.
Our visual standards include the following:
- A photograph may be described as showing our preparation only when it actually does.
- Stock images and illustrative visuals must not be presented as documentation of a recipe test.
- AI-generated food images should be clearly identified as illustrative or AI-generated.
- Material differences between an illustrative image and the recipe should be disclosed, or a more suitable visual should be selected.
- Image captions and alternative text should describe the visual accurately.
An appealing image does not establish the taste, texture, safety, or reproducibility of a recipe.
Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence may be used to assist with tasks such as developing outlines, improving wording, organizing information, or creating illustrative visuals.
AI-assisted material remains subject to human review. The people responsible for the Website remain accountable for what is published.
Our standards prohibit using AI to fabricate:
- Recipe testing or firsthand cooking experiences.
- Professional qualifications or expert endorsements.
- Sources, quotations, or research findings.
- Reader testimonials or personal histories.
- Photographic evidence of a preparation that did not occur.
AI output is not evidence that an instruction is accurate or that a recipe will work. Quantities, methods, factual claims, and safety-related guidance require appropriate checking.
When the role of AI could materially affect a reader’s understanding of the content’s origin or evidentiary value, that role should be disclosed in the relevant article or caption.
Corrections and Updates
We welcome reports of errors, missing information, and unclear instructions.
When an issue is reported, the responsible team reviews the concern and determines whether a correction, clarification, or removal is appropriate. Potential food safety problems should receive priority.
Substantive corrections should be explained in a visible note when readers need that context. Minor spelling, punctuation, or formatting changes may be made without a separate correction notice.
An updated date should reflect a meaningful review or revision, rather than create the appearance of freshness without substantive work.
To request a correction, email contact@nanadoris.com with:
- The article title or URL.
- The statement or instruction you believe needs attention.
- An explanation of the concern.
- A supporting source, if available.
Editorial Independence and Commercial Content
The Website may introduce advertising, affiliate links, or sponsored content in the future. This policy does not state that these arrangements are currently active.
If commercial relationships are introduced, they must be disclosed clearly where relevant. Readers should be able to recognize paid content or links that may generate compensation.
Payment or a commercial relationship does not justify fabricated experience, unsupported product claims, or misleading recipe descriptions.
An advertisement appearing on the Website does not, by itself, represent an editorial endorsement.
Reader Contributions
Reader questions and feedback can help identify topics to explain and details to improve.
A reader’s reported result is an individual experience. It does not establish that every reader will obtain the same outcome or that the Website has independently verified the recipe.
If comments are enabled, they may be moderated for relevance, respectful participation, spam, and potentially harmful content. Reader comments are not automatically endorsed by the editorial team.
Private messages, personal details, or submitted photographs should not be republished without appropriate permission.
Accountability and Contact
We aim to make the distinction between editorial identity, documented experience, and illustrative content clear.
If you have questions about an article’s authorship, sources, images, testing claims, or adherence to this policy, please contact us.
