Recipe Licensing & Reuse Policy

About this Policy

At Marcello’s Place, we encourage you to share our recipes with others, with some common-sense limitations. This page explains exactly what content you can and cannot reuse from our website.

Why We Have This Policy

Our income relies primarily on visitors coming to our website and optionally, making a purchase through one of our partners. If our recipes are published in full elsewhere, we lose that income and won’t get paid for our work.

For this reason, we permit only part of our recipe content to be republished — not the entire recipe.

Content You May Republish

You may republish the following data from our recipes, which is provided as structured data in our website’s source code:

  • Recipe Title (Schema: Recipe → name)
  • Description (Schema: Recipe → description)
  • Main Image (Schema: Recipe → image)
  • Preparation/Cooking/Total Time (Schema: Recipe → prepTime, cookTime, totalTime)
  • Servings (Schema: Recipe → recipeYield)
  • Cuisine (Schema: Recipe → recipeCuisine)
  • Dietary Suitability (Schema: Recipe → suitableForDiet)
  • Categories (Schema: Recipe → recipeCategory)

If you republish any of these elements, you must:

  • Not modify or alter this data in any way.
  • Alongside the republished recipe data, include a direct link to the original recipe on our website, clearly and prominently attributing it to "Marcello's Place". Ensure the attribution is clearly visible. Do not use small fonts, low-contrast colors, or other methods that make it harder to see.
  • Host the content on your own servers. Do not embed or directly link to images or other resources hosted on our website.

We also encourage you to add your own contributions — for example, share personal comments about why you enjoy the recipe or include photos of your cooking experience.
