Editorial standards
The promises we make about everything we publish.
We write our own recipes
Each recipe and Fuel Note is written for this site. When a dish is inspired by a tradition, such as Greek avgolemono or Japanese nasu dengaku, we name the inspiration and describe how our home version differs.
We cook them at home
Recipes are made in a home kitchen with standard U.S. measures and ordinary equipment. Times are honest estimates for a home cook. We point out the steps where your oven, pan or ingredients may change the result.
We take food safety seriously
We give safe internal temperatures for meat, poultry, fish and eggs, and storage times based on published U.S. guidance from sources such as FoodSafety.gov and the USDA.
We keep health talk out of it
We describe meals in terms of ingredients, flavor and balance on the plate. We do not make medical, weight-loss or disease claims, and we do not use before-and-after images. Nothing we publish replaces advice from a doctor or registered dietitian.
We credit images
Licensed photos are credited with the creator and license on the page. Illustrated cards are created for the site.
Independence
Fuel Healthy Recipes shows no ads, publishes no sponsored posts and accepts no payment for recipes or reviews. We promote the site with Google Ads campaigns; that has no influence on what we publish.
We fix mistakes
If something is wrong, let us know. We check every report and correct errors quickly, noting the review date on the page.
