USE OF THE WEBSITE

The content of this Web Site is for entertainment and general information purposes only. We don’t provide any guarantee of performance, accuracy, or suitability of the information found here. Like most chefs and kitchen workers, sometimes I employ language which is below-the-belt. This is in no way meant to offend you. If it does, please do not use this Web Site.

Links to other Web Sites are also provided in a spirit of entertainment, and I assume no responsibility for the content of other Web Sites. Addresses and opening hours for stores, restaurants, and museums whose addresses are given may be modified without notice. Please make sure to call ahead to check this information.

Newsletter Privacy & Publication of Comments

Your private information is just that: private. I work hard to protect the information you share when you sign up for my newsletter, comment on the blog articles, or contact me. If you are getting my e-mail updates directly in your mailbox, it’s because you have signed up for them. I cannot, legally, sign you up for my updates. To sign up for my newsletter, use the “Subscribe” form at the bottom of the Web Site’s home or contact pages. You will then receive a confirmation in your in box (make sure to check your spam!). If you want to unsubscribe, please click on the opt-out on the bottom of your e-mail update.

Your e-mail is never sold, traded, or otherwise shared with anyone. It is only used for sending out my newsletters and an occasional e-mail advertising a special reduction for a new service. Your comments in the blog are valued! So your e-mail will never be shown or given out as a result of your having left a comment. The comments section is moderated, however, so if your comment doesn’t show up immediately after you submit your comment, please be
patient.

I reserve the right to not publish comments that are defamatory, rude, or otherwise unpleasant. Also, I am a stickler for spelling and grammar errors – one of my (many) pet peeves – so I also reserve the right to make small corrections if necessary before publishing your comment.
This Web Site is in full compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which concerns data collection and was enacted in 2018.
