Editorial Policy

At Classic Fork, we love digging through time to find and share old, forgotten recipes — from grandma’s cookbooks to ancient cooking styles from centuries ago.

To make this possible, we sometimes use AI tools to help with research and writing. But AI is not the chef here — it’s just a kitchen helper. A real human reads, checks, edits, and shapes every post you see.

How AI Helps

  • It helps us gather old recipe ideas and structure them into readable posts.
  • It can assist in rewording or organizing old information into modern language while keeping the vintage charm.
  • We sometimes use AI to come up with headline ideas or group recipes by theme.

What We Always Do Ourselves

  • Fact-check everything before hitting publish.
  • Edit the writing to sound natural and human — not robotic.
  • Try to keep the soul of the original recipe intact.

About AI-Generated Images

We use AI-generated images to show visual inspiration, especially when actual photos of ancient recipes or cooking styles don’t exist. These images are only for idea purposes, not exact representations.

What We Don’t Do

  • We don’t post fully AI-written content without review.
  • We don’t make up fake recipes just for clicks.
  • We don’t sacrifice quality or accuracy — ever.

Why It Matters

Our goal is to preserve cooking history and make it easier for today’s readers to enjoy the past. AI just helps us work faster — the care and heart come from us.

If you have any questions about our content process, feel free to reach out. We’re always open to feedback.
