About the Images We Use

Some images on this site were created using AI tools. They’re here to help illustrate ideas and entertain—not to depict real people, products, or events unless clearly stated. We aim to use visuals responsibly and respectfully.

The rest of the images are of real food that I have cooked and photographed in my kitchen or grown in my garden.
