The Lithuanian Kitchen is committed to making www.thelithuaniankitchen.com (the “Site”) accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We want every visitor to be able to find, read, and cook our recipes, and to enjoy Lithuanian food and traditions.
Our Accessibility Goal
We strive to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, hearing, motor, and cognitive disabilities.
Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We are a small, independent website, and we continue to review and improve the Site as we add new content.
What We Do
- Write descriptive alternative text (alt text) for recipe and step-by-step photos.
- Use clear headings to organize every page and recipe so content is easy to navigate with a screen reader.
- Choose readable fonts and text colors with sufficient contrast against the background.
- Make the Site usable with a keyboard and on mobile devices of all sizes.
- Write recipe instructions in clear, numbered steps using plain language.
- Use descriptive link text instead of phrases like “click here.”
- Offer a print-friendly version of every recipe.
- Offer an optional Cook Mode that keeps your screen awake while you cook, on supported browsers.
- Add captions or text descriptions to videos when we publish them.
Known Limitations
Despite our efforts, some parts of the Site may not yet be fully accessible:
- Older content: some older posts and photos may be missing detailed alt text. We are updating them over time.
- Third-party content: some features come from outside providers, such as embedded social media posts, email signup forms, affiliate links, and retailer websites. We do not control the accessibility of these services.
- Downloadable files: some PDF printables and guides may not be fully accessible. If you need one in another format, contact us and we will help.
- Lithuanian words: recipe names and terms use Lithuanian letters such as ą, č, ė, š, and ž. Some screen readers may pronounce these differently.
Need Help or Have Feedback?
If you have trouble accessing any part of the Site, or if you need a recipe or other content in a different format, please contact us. We welcome your feedback and will do our best to respond within 5 business days and provide the information you need.

Compatibility
The Site is designed to work with current versions of major web browsers, including Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge, and with common screen readers and assistive technologies.
Continuous Improvement
We review this statement regularly and update it as we improve the Site. Thank you for helping us make The Lithuanian Kitchen a welcoming place for everyone. Ačiū!
