Robrub Kitchie is a recipe journal. Everything published here, the recipes, the ingredient notes, the essays about Scottish cooking and its traditional fats, is offered for general information and for the pleasure of cooking. It is nothing more than that, and it is important to us that readers understand what that means in practice.

Not nutritional or medical advice

We write about cooking with butter, dripping, tallow, lard, ghee and olive oil because that is how these traditional dishes were historically made. Nothing on this site is a claim about health outcomes, a diet recommendation or a substitute for professional guidance. Everyone's body, history and needs are different. If you have questions about how any food or fat fits your own diet, or if you live with a medical condition, an allergy or an intolerance, please speak with a qualified doctor, dietitian or other health professional before changing what you eat. Never disregard professional advice because of something you read on a recipe website.

Cook with care

Home cooking involves real risks that no website can manage for you: hot fat, boiling liquids, sharp knives, raw meat and fish, and ovens. When you cook from our recipes you do so at your own risk. Always handle raw ingredients hygienically, cook meat and fish through to safe temperatures, keep children away from hot pans, and rely on your own judgement about your equipment and your kitchen.

Allergens

Our recipes freely use common allergens, including dairy, gluten containing grains, and occasionally alcohol. Ingredient lists are written plainly so you can check them, but we cannot know what any individual reader must avoid. Checking every ingredient against your own requirements remains your responsibility.

Accuracy and testing

Recipes are tested in an ordinary domestic kitchen before publication, and we correct errors when we find them. Even so, ovens vary, ingredients vary by region and season, and mistakes can slip through. We make no warranty that any page is free of error, and results in your kitchen may differ from ours.

External resources

Where the site links to other websites or loads photography from external libraries, that material belongs to its respective owners. A link or an image credit is not an endorsement, and we are not responsible for the content or accuracy of external resources.
