Outcomes of Recipes

I am not responsible for the outcome of any recipe you try from this blog. You may not always have the same results as I do due to various reasons such as, but not limited to:

• Variation in ingredients used (I source my ingredient in New Zealand and there will be differences between what I use and what you use).
• Humidity, temperature, and general weather conditions.
• Altitude (I test, bake, and cook at sea level).
• Cooking/Baking temperatures vary between stoves and ovens. All ovens behave slightly differently.
• Typos, errors, omissions.
• Individual cooking and baking abilities.

It is the reader's responsibility to determine the value and quality of the recipe and instructions provided for food preparation. These recipes are presented and intended for entertainment and/or use by persons having appropriate technical skills, at their own discretion and risk.

Salty Ginger will occasionally include recipes that use wine, beer, or spirits or provide reviews of beverages intended to be consumed by those of legal drinking age. Always drink responsibly.
