Content & Copyright
All recipes, photos, and stories on Global Table Recipes are created by me, Maya, unless otherwise noted. Here’s what that means for you:
- Personal use: You’re welcome to use my recipes at home, print them out, or bookmark them for later.

All rights are reserved unless I say otherwise. Please respect the time and effort that goes into creating each recipe and photo.
Comments & Community Guidelines
I love hearing from you! Comments are a great way to share tips, ask questions, and connect with other cooks. To keep things welcoming for everyone, please:
- Stay on topic and be kind.
- No spam, self-promotion, or links to unrelated sites.
- No offensive, rude, or inappropriate language.
I reserve the right to remove comments that don’t follow these guidelines or that I feel aren’t in the spirit of the community. If you see something concerning, let me know at [email protected].
Site Availability & Changes
I do my best to keep Global Table Recipes running smoothly, but sometimes things happen—like maintenance, updates, or technical hiccups. I can’t guarantee the site will always be available, but I’ll do my best to fix problems quickly and keep you updated if there are major changes.
I may update these Terms from time to time. If I make big changes, I’ll post a notice on the site. The latest version will always be here, with the date at the top.
External Links
Sometimes I link to other food blogs, helpful resources, or kitchen tools. I’m not responsible for their content or policies, so please check their terms if you visit their sites. If you find a broken or concerning link, let me know and I’ll take a look.
Cooking Safety & Results
Cooking is fun, but it’s important to use your best judgment and follow safety guidelines. I test every recipe in my own kitchen, but results can vary based on your ingredients, equipment, and experience. Always check for allergies, use safe food handling practices, and adjust recipes as needed for your own kitchen.
By using this site, you agree that you’re responsible for your own cooking and kitchen safety. I’m not responsible for any injuries, accidents, or kitchen mishaps that might happen while using my recipes.
No Professional Advice
I’m a passionate home cook, not a professional chef, nutritionist, or doctor. The recipes, tips, and stories I share are based on my own experience and research. They’re meant for inspiration and enjoyment, not as medical or professional advice. If you have specific dietary needs or health questions, please consult a qualified professional.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Global Table Recipes and I (Maya) are not liable for any damages, injuries, or losses that might happen from following a recipe, using information from the site, or visiting linked websites. Always cook safely and use your best judgment in the kitchen.
