About Cozy and Taste

How our recipes are written

• The recipe comes first. A short introduction, then the method, then a recipe card with quantities, times and notes. A "Jump to Recipe" button is at the top of every page.
• Standard, plain ingredients. Quantities are given in US measures with metric equivalents where it helps.
• Safe temperatures. Recipes with meat, poultry or eggs state the safe internal temperature. Use a food thermometer; color is not a reliable guide.
• Honest about how we work. Recipes are developed with the help of software tools and reviewed by an editor before they are published. We do not show star ratings or review counts we do not have.
