Cooking should be easy to follow for everyone. This site is built to be readable, navigable, and usable on any device, with or without assistive technology.
The standard
WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Every gap is a bug worth fixing.
What that means here
- Clear headings in a logical order, so a screen reader moves through a recipe.
- Alt text on images that carry meaning.
- Every control reachable by keyboard, with a focus outline you can see.
- Text and background checked for contrast.
- Form fields with real labels.
- Captions or transcripts on video where I can provide them.
- Layouts that reflow on a phone.
- Automated checks plus hands on testing, because tools miss things.
Where it still falls short
There are hundreds of recipes here, some going back years. Older posts may have thin alt text or video without captions. They get fixed as they are found, and whatever a reader names goes first.
What is supported
Current versions of the major browsers on desktop and mobile, and assistive technology including screen readers, magnifiers, and voice control. Some elements come from other companies, like embedded video and social posts, and I do not control how those are built.
Tell me what is broken
Send the page address, what you were trying to do, and the browser or assistive technology you use. I reply within five business days and tell you what I can fix and when.
