Disclaimer
Last Updated: June 13, 2026
Hey there, and welcome to Platelyn! I’m Lilya, and I run this personal food blog to share recipes, cooking tips, and kitchen inspiration with home cooks and food lovers across the United States. Before you dive into the recipes or sign up for my newsletter, please take a moment to read this Disclaimer. It’s here to help you understand what you can expect from Platelyn and how you should use the information found here.
For Informational & Entertainment Purposes Only
Everything you see on Platelyn—recipes, cooking advice, kitchen stories, and newsletter content—is meant for informational and entertainment purposes. I do my best to share accurate, helpful, and fun content, but I can’t guarantee that every recipe will turn out exactly the same in your kitchen as it does in mine. Cooking is a creative process, and results can vary based on your ingredients, equipment, skill level, and even your oven!
Not Professional Advice
I’m not a professional chef, nutritionist, or medical expert. The recipes and tips I share are based on my own experience and research, but they’re not a substitute for professional advice. If you have specific dietary needs, allergies, or health concerns, please consult a qualified professional before trying any recipe or tip from Platelyn. Always use your best judgment and do what’s right for you and your family.
Allergy & Dietary Information
I try to mention common allergens and dietary notes in my recipes, but it’s your responsibility to check ingredients and make sure they’re safe for you. If you or someone you’re cooking for has allergies or dietary restrictions, please double-check labels and consult your doctor or nutritionist if you’re unsure. Platelyn can’t be held responsible for any allergic reactions or health issues that might arise from using the recipes or advice found here.
Recipe Results May Vary
Cooking is a bit of an adventure! Your results may differ from mine due to differences in ingredients, kitchen tools, oven temperatures, and even altitude. I encourage you to experiment, adjust, and make each recipe your own. If something doesn’t turn out as expected, don’t be discouraged—sometimes that’s just part of the fun.
Newsletter & Email Content
If you sign up for the Platelyn newsletter, you’ll receive recipes, updates, and kitchen inspiration in your inbox. The same rules apply: everything is for informational and entertainment purposes. I don’t send medical, nutritional, or professional advice. You can unsubscribe anytime by clicking the link at the bottom of any email or emailing me at [email protected].
No Affiliate Links or Sponsored Content
Platelyn does not use affiliate links or display ads. I don’t recommend products for profit, and you won’t see sponsored content here. Everything I share is just for the joy of cooking and connecting with fellow food lovers. If I ever mention a product or tool, it’s because I genuinely use and enjoy it—not because I’m paid to promote it.
Comment Section & Community
I love hearing from readers! When you leave a comment, please remember that your advice, opinions, and experiences are your own. I moderate comments to keep the conversation friendly and helpful, but I can’t verify every tip or suggestion shared by other readers. Please use your own judgment when following advice from the comment section.
External Links
Sometimes I link to other food blogs, websites, or resources that I think you’ll find helpful. I’m not responsible for the content, privacy policies, or practices of those sites. If you click a link and visit another website, their rules and policies apply. I recommend checking them out if you’re curious or concerned.
Website Availability & Errors
I do my best to keep Platelyn running smoothly and error-free, but I can’t guarantee the site will always be available or that every recipe will be perfect. Sometimes typos, mistakes, or technical glitches happen. If you spot an error or something isn’t working, please let me know at [email protected] or through the contact page. I appreciate your help and patience!
Limitation of Liability
By using Platelyn, you agree that Lilya (that’s me!) is not responsible for any damages, losses, or issues that might come up from using the site, recipes, newsletter, or advice. This includes (but isn’t limited to) cooking mishaps, allergic reactions, health concerns, or website errors. Please use your own judgment and take care in the kitchen.
Children’s Use
Platelyn is designed for grown-ups and teens who love cooking. If you’re under 13, please don’t use the site or sign up for the newsletter. If you think your child has shared info here, let me know and I’ll remove it right away.
Your Rights Under CCPA
If you live in California, you have special rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). For details on your privacy rights, see the Privacy Policy. If you want to exercise your rights or have questions, just email me at [email protected] or visit the contact page.
Changes to This Disclaimer
I may update this Disclaimer as Platelyn grows or if something changes. If I do, I’ll update the date at the top. Check back now and then to stay in the loop.
