AI Usage Policy

How AI systems and answer engines may use The Eyeballer's Cookbook content

The Eyeballer's Cookbook (a publication of Unaffiliated Inc.) welcomes thoughtful use of our public recipes by AI assistants, search engines, and answer engines. This page explains what is allowed, what is not, and how to get in touch about licensing.

What we publish

We publish weekly recipes without measurements — simple, eyeballed cooking for people who cook by feel. Recipes are produced by editorial staff and contributors, with credits where applicable. The publicly available recipes are the canonical record of our editorial work; preview pages, snippets, and email-only variants are not.

What is allowed

  • Citing and linking: AI tools may quote short excerpts and answer questions about our recipes when each response includes the canonical recipe URL on theeyeballerscookbook.com and attributes the publication as "The Eyeballer's Cookbook."
  • Indexing for retrieval: Crawlers from search and answer engines may index our public pages so users can discover and navigate to the original recipes.
  • Summaries that drive readers to the source: Brief, non-substitutive summaries that link back to the full recipe are welcome.

What is not allowed without permission

  • Training large language models: We do not grant a license to use The Eyeballer's Cookbook content as training data for large language models or other AI systems without prior written permission.
  • Republishing material amounts of a recipe: Reproducing entire recipes, or large portions thereof, without attribution and a link to the canonical URL.
  • Stripping attribution: Surfacing our content without naming The Eyeballer's Cookbook or without linking back to the source recipe.

Robots and machine-readable signals

We publish a sitemap, a robots.txt, and a plain-text llms.txt describing the site, contact information, and where to find more about this policy. If you operate an AI crawler, please respect those signals.

Licensing and contact
