Terms of use

Last updated: October 13, 2026

These terms are the agreement between you and Cooking with Raffaella about your use of this website. We have kept them as short and as readable as we can.

1. Accepting these terms

By visiting or using this website, you accept these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site. If you use the site on behalf of a business or organization, you confirm you are allowed to accept these terms for it.

2. What this site is

This website is the personal recipe collection of Raffaella DiNardo, operating as Cooking with Raffaella, at 5850 Jarry E., St-Leonard, Quebec H1P 0A5. It offers recipes, cooking notes and photographs, free of charge, for your information and enjoyment. There is no account to create, nothing is sold here, and no payment is taken here. We may add, change or remove recipes and features at any time.

3. Using the site properly

Please use the site the way it was meant to be used. You agree not to:

• break any law, or infringe anyone's rights, while using the site;
• copy, scrape or harvest the content in bulk, by hand or with automated tools, including to train a machine learning system;
• try to get into parts of the site, the server or the network that are not open to the public;
• interfere with the site's operation, overload it, or introduce malicious code;
• remove or hide any copyright, trademark or ownership notice;
• republish the content commercially or present it as your own.

4. Who owns what

The recipes, text, photographs, videos, logos and page designs on this site belong to Raffaella DiNardo or to Cooking with Raffaella, or are used with permission. They are protected by copyright and trademark law.

You are welcome to cook from these recipes at home, print a copy for your own kitchen, and share a link to any page. What you may not do, without our written permission, is republish, sell, or build a product or service from our content. If you quote a recipe, credit Cooking with Raffaella and link back to the page.

Anything you send us — a question, a comment, a suggestion — you let us use freely to improve the site, with no obligation to you. Please do not send us anything you consider confidential.

5. Recipes, food safety and allergies

Recipes are shared in good faith but every kitchen is different. Ovens vary, ingredients vary, and so do bodies. You are responsible for cooking safely: check that food is cooked through, handle raw ingredients properly, and read ingredient labels. If you have a food allergy, an intolerance, or a medical condition, check every ingredient yourself and speak to a qualified professional. Nothing here is nutritional, medical or dietary advice.

6. Disclaimers and our liability

We work to keep the site accurate and available, but we provide it as it is. We do not promise that it will always be available, error-free, or that the information on it is complete or current.

To the extent the law allows, Cooking with Raffaella is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of this site, from relying on its content, or from being unable to reach it.

Nothing in these terms takes away a right you have under Quebec law. We do not exclude or limit liability for bodily or moral injury, for intentional or gross fault, or anything else that cannot be limited under the Civil Code of Québec or the Consumer Protection Act. Where a limit in these terms is not permitted for you, it simply does not apply to you, and the rest of the terms continue to apply.

7. Links to other sites

Some pages link to sites we do not run, such as social media. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or their privacy practices. Once you follow a link, that site's own terms apply.

8. Indemnification

If your use of the site breaks these terms or the law and that causes a claim against us, you agree to cover the reasonable losses, costs and legal fees we incur as a result. We will tell you promptly about any such claim and give you the chance to take part in handling it.

9. Suspending or ending access

We may suspend or block access to the site, in whole or in part, without notice, if we reasonably believe it is being used in breach of these terms or in a way that threatens the site, its content or other visitors. We may also take the site down or discontinue it at any time. You can stop using the site whenever you wish. The sections on ownership, disclaimers, liability and indemnification continue to apply afterwards.

10. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws in force in Quebec, Canada. If there is a dispute we cannot settle between us, it will be heard by the courts of the judicial district of Montreal, Quebec, and you and we both agree to that. If you are a consumer, this does not take away any right you have to bring your case where Quebec law otherwise permits.

Before going to court, please write to us — most problems can be sorted out directly.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The current version is always on this page, with the date it took effect shown below. Where a change is significant we will post a notice on the site, and the change takes effect no sooner than 30 days after it is posted. Continuing to use the site after that means you accept the updated terms.

12. Getting in touch

How we handle your personal information is explained in our privacy policy.
