Last updated: August 2026

Dasjen Cistin is a recipe and food writing site, written for people who enjoy cooking. This page explains, plainly, what the site is not, so nothing on it gets mistaken for something it never claimed to be.

Recipes, not prescriptions

Every recipe on this site, from Dublin Coddle to Irish Apple Cake, is a set of cooking instructions, nothing more. It is not medical advice, it is not nutritional counselling, and it is not a treatment plan for any health condition. If you are managing a health issue that food affects, that conversation belongs with a doctor or a registered dietitian, not a recipe page.

Butter, dripping and dietary choices

This site cooks with real fats such as butter, dripping, ghee, and olive oil, and deliberately avoids vegetable and seed oils in its own recipes. That is an editorial choice about flavour and tradition, not a claim that any fat is medically better or worse for you than another. Speak to a professional about what fits your own diet.

Allergies and substitutions

Ingredients like wheat, dairy, and eggs appear throughout this site because they are common in Irish home cooking. We do our best to list ingredients clearly, but we cannot know your kitchen, your pantry, or your allergies. Read every ingredient list carefully before you cook, and make your own substitutions where needed.

Results will vary

Two ovens rarely behave the same way, and neither do two cooks. Cooking times, textures, and yields described here are a starting point based on our own testing, not a promise of an identical result in your kitchen. Trust your senses over the clock when a recipe says a loaf should sound hollow or a stew should be thick.

External references

Where a page mentions an ingredient's origin, a traditional technique, or a bit of food history, that information is offered for interest and context. It is written in good faith but should not be treated as an academic or definitive source.

No professional relationship

Reading this site, emailing us a question, or leaving a comment does not create a professional, consulting, or advisory relationship of any kind between you and the operator of Dasjen Cistin.
