Terms and Conditions

Effective April 28, 2026

Welcome. These are the terms for using Big Bites Tiny Kitchen (micheledaulerio.com). They are meant to be plain and reasonable, not lawyered. By using the site, you are agreeing to them.

Who runs this

The site is created and maintained by Michele D'Aulerio. It is a personal food blog, not a business entity.

Ownership of content

What you can do with it

You are welcome to:

Cook the recipes for yourself, your family, your friends, your dinner party.
Print recipes for your own personal, non-commercial use.
Share a link to a post on social media or in an email.
Quote a small excerpt with a credit and a link back to the original post.
Adapt recipes in your own kitchen to your own taste. That is what cooking is.

What you cannot do

Without my written permission:

Do not republish full recipes, articles or photographs on another website, blog, newsletter or print publication.
Do not pass content off as your own. If you adapted a recipe and published your version, give credit and link back.
Do not use anything from the site commercially. This includes cookbooks, paid newsletters, monetized videos, training data and AI products.
Do not scrape the site or its data feeds for redistribution.

If you want to use something and you are not sure whether it is allowed, just ask: bigbitestinykitchen@gmail.com. I am reasonable.

Comments and submissions

If you leave a comment, you are confirming that:

The comment is yours and you have the right to post it.
It is not spam, harassment, hate speech, off-topic advertising or anything illegal.
I can display it, edit it or remove it.

I reserve the right to delete comments and block commenters at my discretion, especially anything abusive, spammy or off-topic. The standard is the same one you would use at someone's dinner table.

Newsletter subscription

Signing up for the newsletter is voluntary. You can unsubscribe any time using the link at the bottom of every email. I will not share your email with anyone.

Accuracy

I try to be accurate, but I cannot promise it. Recipes have been tested in my kitchen, not yours. Restaurant details were true on the day I wrote them. Links can break. Use the site as one input, not the final word.

No warranty

The site is provided "as is." I make no guarantees that recipes will turn out the same way for you, that a restaurant will still be what I described or that the site will be available without interruption.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, I am not liable for damages arising from your use of the site, including but not limited to cooking outcomes, restaurant experiences, reliance on information or any indirect consequence.

Changes

I may update these terms from time to time. The effective date at the top reflects the most recent version. Continued use of the site means you accept the current terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York.
