Disclaimer

Last revised: August 12, 2026

Marlir Keuken exists for one reason: to record and share the traditional home cooking of Flanders, prepared without vegetable oil. Everything on the Site is editorial content, offered for general information and enjoyment. This page sets out the boundaries of that content plainly.

Recipes Are Not Advice

Nothing published here is nutritional counseling, medical advice or a health recommendation of any sort. Our preference for butter over refined seed oils is a culinary tradition and a matter of taste, not a clinical claim. If you have a medical condition, follow a prescribed diet, are pregnant, or have any concern about how a dish fits your health, speak with a qualified physician or registered dietitian before cooking from this Site. Never disregard professional advice because of something you read in a recipe journal.

Your Kitchen Is Not Our Kitchen

Ovens run hot and cold, pots conduct differently, ingredients vary by season and by shop. The times, temperatures and yields we publish reflect the kitchen in which each recipe was tested, and your results may honestly differ. Use your judgment, especially where undercooked meat, fish or eggs would pose a risk, and rely on an accurate food thermometer rather than on timing alone.

Allergens and Intolerances

Flemish cooking leans heavily on butter, cream, eggs, wheat flour and fish, and several recipes here contain gluten, dairy or other common allergens. Ingredient lists describe what the dish traditionally contains; they are not allergy labeling. Always check the packaging of what you actually buy, and adapt or skip any recipe that conflicts with an allergy or intolerance in your household.

A Note on Cooking With Beer

Several traditional dishes on this Site are braised or simmered with Belgian ale. Alcohol reduces during long cooking but may not disappear entirely. Whether a dish cooked with beer is appropriate for children, for pregnancy or for anyone avoiding alcohol is a decision for you and, where relevant, your physician. Substituting stock for the ale will change the flavor but will always work in the method.

Third Party Destinations

Links on the Site may lead to external websites, including the policy pages of advertising services. We do not write, control or vouch for third party content, and following an outbound link is at your own discretion.

Accuracy and Corrections

We work to keep every recipe correct and every page current, yet errors can slip through in any publication. If you spot a mistake, a broken step or a measurement that seems off, we genuinely want to hear about it, and we will correct the page. No warranty of completeness or accuracy is implied by publication.
