Community Guidelines

Cece's Kitchn is built by home cooks for home cooks. Be warm, be honest, and lift other people's cooking up. The kitchen is everyone's table.

Disagree with care. Critique the recipe, not the cook. Assume good faith and ask before you correct.

Recipes should be cookable: clear ingredient amounts, ordered steps, and a real photo when you can. Test before you publish.

If you publish, you're responsible for accuracy, allergen notes, and responding to questions in a reasonable timeframe.

Be who you say you are. No impersonating chefs, brands, or other cooks. One person, one primary account.

No vote rings, fake reviews, mass-follow campaigns, or paid engagement. Engagement should come from cooking the food.

Zero tolerance for hate speech, threats, doxing, or sexual harassment. Violations lead to immediate action — see Enforcement below.

Don't make medical, nutritional, or safety claims you can't back up. Be especially careful with canning, fermentation, and allergen substitutions.

Recipes aren't copyrightable but the words, photos, and videos you write are. Don't paste someone else's headnote, photo, or step-by-step copy.

AI-assisted is fine. AI-only, untested, and unlabeled is not. Mark AI drafts clearly and cook them before you publish.

Rate recipes you've actually made. Reviews are for the dish — share substitutions, tweaks, and outcomes. Personal attacks get removed.

Depending on severity: a private nudge, a public warning, content removal, temporary suspension, or permanent ban. We document every action.

You can appeal any action by emailing appeals@cecesrecipes.com. A different reviewer than the one who took the original action will respond within 7 days.
