Frequently asked questions

Open any Videos card to use the privacy-enhanced embedded player after allowing YouTube Media, or choose Watch on YouTube to open the original video. Shorts open in a vertical player on the current page.

After the YouTube API key is configured, the production WordPress site checks the complete channel catalogue automatically. YouTube public notifications and a scheduled recovery check keep new public uploads, titles, descriptions, durations, thumbnails and Shorts synchronized. The YouTube channel remains the authoritative source for upload notifications.

No. A dedicated video page reproduces the synchronized YouTube description, while cards show a shortened opening. Traditional methods may be demonstrated by sight rather than exact measurements. Apply appropriate food-safety guidance when adapting a method.

Daily Story introductions are created locally from the selected video title and subject rather than copied from YouTube. Related videos are ranked locally from titles, descriptions, ingredients, methods and approved comment words. These features do not send that text to an external AI service and may occasionally need editorial correction.

No. Public episodes, descriptions and approved comments are available without an account. A member account is required only to record one like per episode or submit a comment.

WordPress Core hashes passwords, creates time-limited reset links and uses secure authentication cookies. The public form creates subscriber-only accounts and limits repeated login, registration and reset attempts.

Comments can be held for moderation or spam review. Comment requests use sign-in, request verification, a hidden bot field, link limits, duplicate detection and temporary rate limits.

Yes. Cookie settings separates YouTube Media and Analytics. Necessary security and sign-in storage remains available, while rejected optional scripts and players stay unloaded.

No. Episode and Short players remain inert until Media is enabled in Cookie settings. A blocked player opens those settings without silently enabling playback. Ordinary preview images come from YouTube's image server and can send request data before player consent.

No. Advertising has been removed from Cookie settings, so AdSense code remains blocked. Before activation, the site needs a valid AdSense setup, domain approval, final disclosures and a compliant consent platform. Google requires a certified CMP for AdSense visitors in the EEA, the United Kingdom and Switzerland.

You may share links. Downloading, re-uploading, selling, removing credits or commercial reuse requires prior written permission unless law clearly permits it.

Use Work With Us or the Contact section. Include your organization, proposed product or service, requested placement, territory, timing and disclosure needs.

Use the contact address shown in the Privacy Policy. WordPress privacy tools cover account and comment data, and the production theme adds export and erasure support for episode likes. Identity verification may be required.

No activity should be copied without appropriate training, equipment, supervision, food-safety knowledge and local-law checks. The films are not professional safety instruction.
