My website is https://www.easyrecipestotry.com/ and I'm Sarah — the cook behind all these delicious and easy-to-follow recipes!

When You Leave Comments

When you share your thoughts on my recipes, here's what I collect:

Your name and email from the comment form

Once I approve your comment, your profile picture (if available) will appear alongside your comment for other visitors to see.

If you upload photos of your cooking creations:

Remove location data from your images before uploading
Other visitors might be able to see where photos were taken if location information isn't removed
I may feature your photos in future recipe posts or on social media with your permission
