Editorial methodology

The Good Cooking helps everyone choose the right recipes for their needs and cravings — quick meal, budget, diet, cooking level — and the right equipment to pull them off. Our goal is not to publish « one more recipe », but to offer content that is useful, reliable and verifiable.

Each recipe is built by cross-checking several reliable sources (reference cookbooks, recognized cooking sites, manufacturer technical sheets). When sources disagree on a point — quantity, cooking time, temperature — we compare the versions and keep the value that the majority of reliable sources agree on. This cross-referencing between sources reduces the risk of an isolated error.

Before publication, the steps are reviewed for consistency (logical order, realistic quantities, plausible times). When a recipe draws on a specific source, that source is credited on the recipe page.

Our buying guides rely on the same principle: a fact is only kept if it is confirmed by at least two independent sources (independent tests, specialized press, manufacturer documentation). Each guide displays the list of its sources at the bottom of the page, so that you can check for yourself.

The ratings shown on recipes come only from real reviews left by visitors. We never make up ratings or review counts: as long as a recipe has not received a real review, no stars are displayed. Reviews are moderated to filter out spam and abusive content.

Content evolves: prices, models, best practices. Each guide shows its last update date. We fix reported errors as quickly as possible.
