Recipes and Cooking
Our recipes are tested in a home kitchen and shared in good faith, but results may vary depending on your ingredients, substitutions, equipment, altitude, and cooking skills. We cannot guarantee that a recipe will turn out exactly as described or pictured.
Cooking involves risks such as hot oil, sharp knives, open flames, and hot surfaces. Always use caution, supervise children in the kitchen, and follow your appliance manufacturers’ instructions. You are solely responsible for your own safety and the safety of others while preparing any recipe.
US Ingredient Substitutions
Many of our recipes adapt traditional Lithuanian dishes to ingredients available in the United States. Substitutions are suggestions based on our experience. Taste, texture, and results may differ from the original dish. Brands and products mentioned may change their ingredients at any time, so always read product labels.
Food Allergies and Dietary Restrictions
Recipes may contain or come into contact with common allergens, including milk, eggs, wheat (gluten), soy, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, sesame, and poppy seeds. We do not label every recipe for allergens. If you have a food allergy, intolerance, or dietary restriction, read all ingredient and product labels carefully and consult your doctor before trying a recipe.
Food Safety
Always follow safe food handling practices, including washing your hands and surfaces, avoiding cross-contamination, cooking meat, poultry, fish, and eggs to safe internal temperatures, and refrigerating food promptly. Some traditional recipes call for raw, cured, smoked, or fermented ingredients, which may carry an increased risk of food-borne illness, especially for pregnant women, young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. For current guidance, visit FoodSafety.gov.
